Volunteering—rooted in infinite Love
Originally appeared on spirituality.com
When our daughters were young, and I was a stay-at-home mom, I spent many hours volunteering at their elementary school. By the time they were in high school, my assistance wasn’t needed as much. It seemed right to reexamine where else I could make the best contribution.
I thought about activities I'd enjoyed in the past. Playing the piano in a nursing home, helping the public library get books to the homebound, and teaching children to read had been useful to others and brought big blessings to my own life.
There are countless ways to help others, and I had no problem thinking of things I could do. But none of them seemed right for me at that moment.
