Yeah, easy topic for today considering its Veterans Day, right? Well, I am thinking a step beyond telling a veteran thank you for your service. You should 100% do that but I am thinking more about the power that comes from serving.
It doesn’t have to be just the armed services; they are or have served in the utmost capacity but what is serving and how or where does it create that power. The power to serve is created because the act so much bigger than the person or persons themselves. It comes from the act or change they are creating.
Think about it in reference to your own life. How powerful was that feeling created by volunteering time to help clean up a flood victims house or to collect food for your local food bank knowing how many folks would get to eat because of your efforts? The results of your efforts had nothing to do with your life directly, but man did it feel good. That was the power to serve.
As you get ready to thank a veteran for their service think about that power. The feeling you got from volunteering to help someone locally and know that their time to serve others was for years and may have taken them far from their family for long stretches of time. Very powerful!
To all of those out there spending time serving others, well done. To those who spent time serving our country, THANK YOU! Your power to serve has made an immeasurable impact on our country and we are forever grateful! Shine Bright and Much Love!!
