Yesterday a fellow public speaker asked an excellent question. By the way, great professional speakers ask great questions.
“What about volunteering with your family”? It was not clear in yesterday’s post, so here it is now.
All our volunteer efforts start with, “Can we do this as a Family”?
Not only is being visible important to setting a good example, but so is involvement.
My wife serves as a Minister of Holy Communion on the days I Lector. Afterwards, our son helps me carry the Gospel (a very large, heavy book) back to the Sacristy. Been doing this since he could walk.
It was cute the first few years because it was only symbolic. He was not strong enough to actually help. But children don’t care. He actually believed he was lifting it.
You know, in a weird sort of way, he actually was. Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
