More Than Just A ______

More Than “Just A ______”

(Volunteer, Catechist, ______)

          What we do and are comprise a part of us and not the totality of our being.  The components of our makeup are merely building blocks to the foundation of the person we’ve become.

          One of the things I do is volunteer at a hospital.  In that capacity I am a “greeter” welcoming people, finding wheelchairs and bringing them to the lobby, and delivering items to nurse’s stations for patients.

          Another role I’ve played is a “Catechist.”  That meant I led Religious Education classes for children, youth and adults.  In that I was a storyteller, and explained religious items and practices.  I also asked questions to let participants come to their own conclusions.

          Each of us is part of the growing in faith process for others.  We are God’s way of reaching out to people, and being blessings.  Also things that are prayed for are answered with messengers sent.

          When we grow in faith because of another’s involvement or sharing that might spark an idea to renew us toward something beyond a current location.  The version of ourselves could be improved with newer characteristics and possibilities previously unknown.
