Good Morning, God,
Lord, somewhere inside each one of us is the desire to help other people. It may come through a young man, himself often put down and down and out, helping others so that they can survive just a little bit longer and get a leg up.
The desire to help others may come through those who volunteer in community not-for-profit organizations, for example, the crisis connection, the YMCA, the local food banks, our local churches and schools.
Another place that people are helping out as volunteers is our hospital, where the motto is "Be for Others." Headed up the last few years by the same person, the number of volunteers has doubled.
What a gift-the unselfish gift of self in a place where even the smallest gift may mean the difference between a positive and negative outcome.
Thank you, Lord, for the gift that volunteers give to our hospital, "Being for Others."
In Jesus' name, Amen.
