I learned a while back that if you need a blessing, be a blessing. If you're young and that bored, think of all the older folks with no family or friends. It's easy for you to get out, but not them. It is only when you give of yourself that you truly give. All it takes is the Yellow Pages and a short drive as there are bound to be a slew of places you could volunteer, or just visit with people. Maybe you know a single mother who could use a couple of hours to herself - you could babysit. For exercise, maybe you can find an elderly person/couple who needs yard work done, or hang Christmas lights for them. Do you know a teenager who just needs an ear? You'll be surprised at how alive it makes you feel. All you need is an imagination. |
