I am the Compassionate Service Leader in my congregation's women's organization. That means I get to organize our service projects within our community. If we have a sister that had a baby, was ill or injured, then I make arrangements for meals to be brought into her family to help lighten her load. If a family is moving, we have helped them pack and clean to prepare for their move. If we have a sister who is experiencing grief, I find ways to bring her joy, such a card signed from her friends or a basket of goodies to let her know we care. If we have a funeral, I organize the meal for the family afterwards. If we have a food drive, I help organize it. All of these little things help me meet the needs of our community and bring great joy. I feel so blessed to be a part of making someone else's burden easier.
