My volunteer time at my local hospital came to an end today. Not because I wanted it to, but because I have been offered a full time job. I will be working full time Monday thru Friday. It is kind of bitter sweet for me. Praise the Lord that I have a full time job for the first time in over twenty months. I am very sad to be leaving the hospital. It had been very rewarding to me in so many ways. I have no doubt that God had me there for a reason. To shine His light among the many visitors and patients that I came in contact with. Hopefully I was a blessing to someone else. I tried my best to work hard for Jesus. Spread the Gospel, and talk about Him with others. Praise the Lord that I was able to talk about Him in public at a public place. I am not ashamed of the Gospel.
Matthew 5:16
In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. (ESV)
My favorite part of volunteering there was taking the cardio-rehab patients up to the rehab center. What a joyful, fun bunch of people. They were like a family. It's only fitting that my final act as a volunteer, was to take a wheel chair up to rehab and give a patient a ride down.
I worked with the best group of people. The way that we all got along was incredible. From the older volunteers all the way down to the younger ones. Our diverse backgrounds didn't hinder our performance at all. We all got along famously. I am going to miss the people there. The camaraderie. Sharing our stories. Getting to know one another.
Colossians 3:23 Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people
