Volunteerism is a way of life for us, I think. I don't believe we give it much thought, but we just get all drawn into stuff that we care about so we find ourselves all busy-fied...like the stuff we do at our church: teaching, choir, youth/children's ministry stuff, and my son played the trumpet in this morning's worship service...he's in the sound room...We take on jobs or duties for groups we're a part of ~ our daughter is a crew leader this year for their drama group. This carries more responsibilities than just member...I've gone and been the "adult" person available when another crew met and worked. We have foster parented, worked as an executive member of an adoptive and foster parent's association board of directors, helped to spear head and lead a local adoptive and foster group becoming the first president...we've worked as helpers on other projects...my children and husband worked at a missions resort area outreach this summer. My kids passed tracks out at the Trick or Treat deal in our community~we gave tracks from our home. I dunno...this is an area I don't generally talk about much b/c it's just our lives...who we are...and we don't really advertise it much...So with this said,,,I'm gonna jump off here and send you on to ck out the Crew on their volunteerism !
hugs!

My children also do some volunteering at church, but I had forgotten to really mention those opportunities! It is amazing how many little things we do sometimes, isn't it? Following through with the small opportunities on a consistent basis teaches our children so much, I think. :)
Foster parenting is definitely a way to get the whole family involved...
