Hospice

Last week I went through a three-day training so that I can be a Hospice volunteer. The training opened my eyes to some wonderful new vistas! It renewed my faith in my fellowman for one thing. The people I met who are already volunteers are the epitome of goodness! They do for the sake of serving and love. I experienced the amazing fact that outside my world, things are done in a much more extended amount of time. I tend to do whatever has to be done as quickly as I can in order to get on to the next thing! But out there, things are accomplished and enjoyed in a slow-mo process!

I have been given such abundant blessings and people have been there for me in many ways so I want to give back. My service in the community has been limited to being a room-mother at school. Everything in it's time and season... I look forward to this new adventure and hope that I can be used by God to help those individuals and families who are facing separation to feel hope and the love that God has for them.
