You could feel like devoting some of your time and energy to helping others today. Service might be a way for you to develop a greater sense of relationship to your community and may help you use your talents in a way that can be of benefit to others. Perhaps volunteering at a local organization such as a soup kitchen or getting involved in afterschool programs in your community could be a way to serve others in a meaningful way. Even doing something as simple as extending a kind word to someone in need could be of immeasurable help today. While serving others you may want to consider the ways in which you are connected to the person you are helping by seeing that person as someone who is not separate from you but is a part of you. Being able to view others from this perspective might help you realize that by helping others, you are also feeding your soul.

When we serve others we allow ourselves to be a more integral part of our community as a whole. Once we recognize that the welfare of others is as important as our own, we begin to see that there is little that we do not share; as part of this world, our spirits and lives are interconnected. As we give to others we also give to ourselves--we enhance the world around us. By caring for those in need, your actions will help make the world a better place today.
