"I believe in the goodness of the human heart." -Barbara Brown Taylor.

Last week, three examples of volunteering were highlighted. I would be remiss if I did not offer my gratitude to all the people who volunteer their time or talent to make a situation in this world better. These wonderful people offer a beautiful part of themselves. Speak with people who volunteer and they will quickly share with you how much joy they get in giving their time or talent to a cause.

Acts of kindness and service illustrate the beauty of this season and portray the real meaning of Christmas. I am so grateful for volunteers who give freely of their time throughout the year. These acts of thoughtfulness make the world a better place.

A few years ago I volunteered for Habitat for Humanity here in the Denver and Evergreen area by taking photos of the build. All the volunteers were so content to be fulfilling a purpose for this worthy cause. It was a joy to capture the building process for each of these homes.

“Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.”
