I was doing some research on volunteering in the local community and ran across this. Sounded good so I am posting it.

You can live your commitment to service through small acts every day:

Be a good neighbor
Speak up for others
Be an optimist
Be a good listener
Do something nice for someone every day
Share your good fortune
Be open to the joy of giving of yourself
Invest your time in doing good
Don't wait for others to step up to the plate
Dream of a better world—and make your dreams come true

"You make a living by what you get. You make a life by what you give."

—Winston Churchill

Thanks for this post Ponto! Love it! Our VBS this year will be using things like this to teach the kids about serving others.
