Giving to and serving the community
Paul Graves
Most of us have some readings that we turn to for wisdom — or a reminder of what we need to be wise about.
For me, one of those readings is a thoughtful essay called “Belonging.” It was written by Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D., in her book called "My Grandfather’s Blessings: Stories of Strength, Refuge, and Belonging" (Pgs. 197-200).
In this essay, she makes a helpful distinction between helping, fixing, and serving. Dr. Remen is an advocate of serving. “Service is the way this world can heal.” Wow, what an affirmation of the power offered by service.
