There has been much in the news about the tragedies affecting millions of people: major fires in Oregon, Montana, Washington, and Northern California; Hurricane Harvey in Texas; a category five hurricane in Florida affecting Georgia and North Carolina, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Barbuda Island; and two devastating earthquakes in Mexico. I was listening to a news reporter in Texas listing all of the destruction; he started talking about all the volunteers who have shown up to help, and he started to cry. Through tears, he said that he has never seen humanity show up in such beautiful ways to be of service and help others in need. Without these volunteer helpers, it would have been a much worse tragedy.
In my life, I hardly remember a time when so much has been happening to so many people in such a short period of time.
The amount we receive back within our hearts from helping is much more than the time or money that we give.
