Be giving of your time

Be giving of your time and help others. While visiting my wife's family yesterday, I decided to help pick up downed branches from the recent ice storm. It ended up taking four hours to pick up sticks and large branches and put them in a burn pile in the garden. But what I learned by doing this is that by giving of your time and doing something for someone else without being asked, is an act of service that shows you care. In today's world where time is a commodity, giving of your time sacrificially is one of the best ways you can show you love and care about someone and it models the way for others.
