Last night instead of having a lesson the youth helped hide eggs for our annual Easter Egg Hunt with the kids department. Then we waited and watched over the kids, helping them find eggs when necessary. This was a simple task, but our teens were so gracious and helpful about it. I was impressed with how willing they were to help though they knew they didn't get any of the eggs to themselves. Yet, I am not surprised, as the more time I spend with those kids the more proud I am of them! They are such a blessing to work with!
So what I want to tell you today is that if you're a member of a church and you're not volunteering any where, you should look into serving with them. And if you have no idea which department to work with, ask two questions: ask a friend where/how they think you should serve and ask the pastor (or his assistant if he has one) about where they need volunteers. I can tell you I was pretty much thrown into the two places I volunteer, and working with the youth was both something I never thought of and a little frightening! But I jumped in and though at first I felt a little out of place, I wouldn't trade the last 2 1/2 years with them for anything. They are like my little brothers and sisters and my Wednesday evenings with them are often the highlight of my week! ;)
So, you have no reason to hold back, for you too are called to serve and answering will surely bless you!
