Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. I have found such peace since I have chosen a life of service to others over self. The is such value in helping someone in need, even if your own resources are strained and limited. The is a truth in the saying, “Give til it hurts. Doing so really does provide a sense of peace and feeling of gratification. To see the appreciation on someones face is sufficient repayment as far as I’m concerned. Have a blessed day today and always y’all seek ways to help others.

My entire work history has been in service to Country, and State as well in service to God. That is hard to separate because I believe it all starts with Service to God. Our weather has cooled to the mid 80’s. My feet are wrapped in heavy padded bandages. I have been instructed to stay off my feet, by the Doctor and to return every Wednesday until my feet are healed. Blessings. It appears that I am living the Life of Riley! LOL

Helping others is one of those concepts that seems way too lost in today's society.
