[Community-service] 2018 National Service Project Reflections

[Jeanetta price]

Kelly,
Your reflection inspired and uplifted me. To know that you felt a place of belonging at our meeting speak volumes.  My prayer is for willing workers and I am grateful that you are willing to work with CSD. Our connection was not by coincident but  by divine purpose. Look forward to serving with you. 

With love, 
JP

>>>> Greetings to the community service division! The community service project for the national convention was a success. I really enjoyed helping in the community with my ability to serve. I was able to work as a greeter with someone from another state. I felt the appreciation from the families and individuals we served. My participation gave me the idea to chair a community service committee for the Florida affiliate. I look forward to working with the community service division so we can be visible in our community. I thank the division for uplifting my spirit to be involved with community service.

>>> Ask and it will be given you; seek an you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. I asked for friends who are wise, intelegent, creative, talented, loving and of course fun to be placed into my life. They were given to me and I found them when I attended the meeting for community service at the 2018 national convention. I also asked “what more can I do to help someone else” and I believe that the sharing of ideas amongst the group was a fundamental avenue to bring about those prospects. I know that so many doors for the opportunities to serve, teach and inspire others are going to be opened as well. 
>>> 
>>> Furthermore, I was inspired to join the Community Service Division of the NFB After meeting so many inspirational and motivated individuals in the group. The efforts and purpose of the division to serve those who are less fortunate and bring joy into the lives of the hopeless is a fundamental gift that I have always held near to my heart. The ability to give hope, happiness or dignity to someone is the ultimate satisfaction that I gain by giving back to others. With the support and aspirations of this committee, I am looking forward to all that we can accomplish individually and corporately in our communities.
>>> 
>>> Thank you to those who have written reflections already, and thank you to everyone who attended this project and made it happen. I look forward to hearing about all the other projects you all will complete this year as well!
