My brothers were both volunteer firefighters when they weren't working their normal jobs as ambulance drivers. My sister has always volunteered somewhere and currently she rocks babys three nights in the NICU after she works her office job. She has done this for several years, only taking a break when her husband died of cancer. She has been in the church nursery for over 25 years. Every. Single. Sunday. You can surely see where her heart is can't you? Her heart breaks for those babies she rocks, especially the ones who were born drug addicted.<br />Me, I go to the nursing homes to vist and knit and crochet for others. <br />Good for you in keeping so busy. I know all of your efforts are appreciated.<br />Blessings,<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.com
