The Volunteer's Heart

The Volunteer's Heart

Oh what a wonderful thing.
It is one of God’s surprises.

We must protect it, provide it with nourishment,
give it warmth, and shower it with love.

And like a flower it will blossom and
grow to serve our needs and those of the Lord.

Some may be strong or even a bit weak and have suffered some.

Of one thing I am sure; they will give of time, talent and resources
without a single thought for reward.

No task can be found too large or small for the
Heart of a Volunteer as it is theirs given freely.

You see, it is a gift given them only by God.
It is filled with Hope, Faith and Love.

All of which is offered from the Heart of the Volunteer.
