Volunteering is something I do quite often. Ever since middle school I have been plugged into my youth group where we are very involved in community services. I have been involved in a range of activities through volunteering. I have helped at programs serving Burmese, Worldchangers, the elderly, the disabled, and less fortunate children. I have served food, babysitted, raked yards, powerwashed houses and porches, roofed houses, and sang in nursing homes. All of these oppurtunites end up blessing me as much or more than those we are serving. The feeling of helping someone or a group of people provides a good feeling that can't compare to anything else. I have heard stories of people's pasts that break my heart and are so humbling. By volunteering I build up some of the best memories I ever have had. Volunteering is so humbling, because you know that it is not you who is impacting these people-but God. He is the greater power that enables me to serve others. He is the one I give all the glory to. Serving is so rewarding, as long as I am...
