I’m on duty again today as an ambulance responder and in between drug checks and call outs, it got me thinking about our role as volunteers in the community. It’s been my firm belief for several years that as a person of faith, I also have a responsibility to give back in whatever way is appropriate and effective for me. This of course is my ambulance volunteering, my work with the CCIWI Food Pantry for Pagan folks in need and the pro bono work I do but for each person, the skills they can bring to their community as a volunteer are different.

For some people, volunteering might be clearing rubbish from the roadside or helping out for a few hours at the local animal shelter. It might be knitting blanket squares or supporting Greenpeace and so forth. The type of volunteering work we do isn’t the issue I don’t think. It’s actually deciding on what to do and getting out and doing it. Far too many folks say “I’ll get around to it” and never actually do it.  “A round tuit” doesn’t get the job done.

So… here’s a round tuit for you so you can get around to it. :)

Smiles and blessings, Amethyst
