The community you live in needs you. You have an ability unique to you that can benefit the local boro, township, city or area that you reside in.
If you serve as a coach for your children, that is one area, it can extend to coaching, being a brother/sister, helping out the orphan or widows in your community. Helping out at school, teaching, mentoring – teaching shop.
Volunteer as a First Responder – contrary to what others believe, the area I live in is a Volunteer Fire Company – without volunteers, our community burns down.
Serving is first finding what you are good at, and lending this talent to the community. The benefit is helping others develop and contributing to everyone.
The politics of Dem of Rep or Indep do not matter when you serve, it levels the ground so we can work and help everyone grow together. There may be differences in opinion or methods, but the discussion and service levels across the board when we work together. There are those trying to push for anarchy and violence, clearly do not love their neighbor, and have some deep seated issues that they need to resolve. Deep seated demons – dealing with them – is what one must do to not only know who they are, but who they are called to live for, and where they will go when they breathe their last breathe.
Service is what keeps our nation together – God is the one that has shown us all creation, his moral law that we have broken, and the hope found in Jesus Christ to the whole world. For those that are able to understand that there is evil in the hearts of men, in the world, and the brevity of life, we all will stand before God.
Do not let the evil run rampant if you see it, call it out, make it known so that evil does not run like a disease in your community. This is not the time to stand idle, or flee – you stand your ground and fight the corruption with like minded people and hold the baddies responsible.
Serve if you are able too – do not take bribes – don’t be evil – do good for all. Protect, Serve and Build – the same is for your families – there is hope for you and your family in Jesus for this life and eternity.
