Profile of a Volunteer
My mother has been an at
home mom all of my life and has been an avid volunteer of so many efforts over
the years from volunteering in our schools and classrooms to various church
activities. She has shown me what true commitment to what one believes in is all
about. Over the past few years since my father passed, she has concentrated her
services to visiting people who are sick and praying for them either at home,
in the hospitals, senior homes, etc. She has the gift of discernment and
intercession which to me means that she can tell what is really going on with
someone and can stand in the gap for them as they reach out to God. The comfort
she provides to so many people has made such a positive impact on them and when
I return home, I love reading the cards and letters she receives in
thanksgiving for brightening days, eliciting smiles, and giving hope.
The message here is that we don’t
know the lives we impact, seen and unseen, in what we do daily and I believe we
have an obligation as fellow human beings to give back in some form or another.
My goal is to give back to the children and families struggling with the
hardships of disabilities with the hope of making a positive difference in
their lives and motivating them to one day do the same for someone else. My father’s saying was “each one, reach one,
teach one.”
Hi Dianna,

Your mother is a true example of a virtuous woman. It's one thing to feel empathetic towards others, but to display it takes true character. God Bless!
