This morning we had the privilege of sharing in the work at Eden Kids. We were helping set up some gardens and clearing a few areas so that the kids can plant some veggies soon. It didn't take more than 2 hours, but the time was beneficial for all.
In fact, I often believe that we get more out of these 'mission trips' than the youngsters we are trying to help. It always reminds me of how blessed we truly are and consequently how much responsibility we have to help others.
It seems that people have been speaking about this for generations - it is just for us to listen and to give of ourselves:
“It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.” - Mother Theresa
“We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.” - Winston Churchill
“For it is in giving that we receive.” - Francis of Assisi
“No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.”-Charles Dickens
Living in grace
