Whenever I am lonely or am in need of help, there always seems to be someone who is around to get me out of the mess I got myself into. It seems as if they are a kind of guardian angel that is there for me when I need it the most, and it makes my day a whole lot better than it was before. Now, I am starting to see that when I help others, it makes me feel a lot better and is a sort of therapy or a break for my mind. Doing the small services to others like helping a friend who has been wrongly accused of a mischievous act or comforting a person who grieves or is burdened by matters in life that can make a person go crazy. Even the seemingly-large acts of service like signing up for food drives, or events at church like a bazaar, or even just signing up for volunteer events for school. All of these acts of service, big or small, make an impact that could start a domino effect out of kindness. Once others see you do it, they are inspired to begin this. Thus, you become, "A city of light set on a hill that cannot be hidden." I myself used to think that service could not be productive and is not practical for my own schedule. But the more I allow myself to do it, the more I realize that service is one of those activities that has been hidden away, because I never tried to do it before. It gives me a different peace of mind that actually lets me say, "Wow, I'm actually doing something that will make a difference in someone's life."
