I participate in a lot of volunteer work. I do everything when I can due to my health. It ranges from making sandwiches for the homeless & poor, to feeding them during holidays, to handing out bags of groceries. It gives me joy to do this. I expect nothing in return.

I also pray for those who are sick, poor, and needy. Some online, and some who come to me in real time. I am not sure of why, but people seek me out. I go to St. Jude's Shrine to pray. Sometimes for hours at a time or for a few minutes. I remember when TJ's parents wrote me about their daughter's battle with cancer. The agony in their voices could just reach out and touch you. I sent them a prayer card, and the rosaries from St. Jude's that I used when my sister, JoAnn, was dying of skin cancer. The gift of prayer is very powerful and wonderful. It isn't something that you just give away. It is something that shows love and dedication to one's beliefs and giving hope for the future. It may not be what we want. It is in God's hands.

Good thread. I look forward to see what others do.

Namaste,
Andrew
