A joke for the morning....
I watched a video clip two days ago and it was so funny and here is how it goes....
Lady A: What is your age young lady?
Lady B: I am 25yrs old
Lady A: This is the age to marry. When will you get married?
Lady B: Soon
(After few minutes, she asked her own question)
How old are you too Auntie?
Lady A: I am 70 yrs old
Lady B: This is the age of death. When will you die?
Lady A: (she was shocked and couldn't say anything again) 😅😅😅😅
The moral of the joke is that you should always mind your own business. You don't have any business asking such from anyone. Lady A got what she deserved. Lol
What do I have for us this morning? It's a beautiful bright day and I believe we all had the best night? I slept early last night as I was so weak that I couldn't do anything. I woke up at 2:45am by the sound of the rat creeping into my room and I couldn't sleep again. I picked up my book and read for an hour and thirty minutes before sleeping back.
LET'S TALK ABOUT VOLUNTEERING.
I know I have deviated from the article but I just had to make us smile for the day.
Who is a Volunteer?
Giving your time to help everyone around you is amazingly valuable, both for yourself as well as your local area. Being a volunteer willingly is like saving for the future and ready to enjoy your efforts of saving. You are mentally and intellectually fit when you decide to give your time to help someone and not waiting to get paid in return.
It is not a crime to earn from being a volunteer but you don't have to place money over your assistance.
I remembered where I was living with my parent before we relocated. The landlord has two buildings. He and his family staying in one while he rented the other one out which we were tenants with other people. I took up the responsibility to always wash the gutter outside our house because these guys weren't ready to do anything. I could have also ignored and decided not to touch it because normally, we were supposed to share the task amongst ourselves.
I started washing the gutter every Saturday and always sparkling clean. When people pass, they shower lots of prayers on me and the landlord was even happy I was doing my duty well. When I gained admission, the landlord was like he is going to miss me because of the gutter which no one was ready to wash it. Most times, my Dad does the work when I was gone.
Volunteering is an act of willingly taking it upon yourself to help no matter what comes out of it or not.
DIFFERENT WAYS OF VOLUNTEERING
You can help to clean the environment, make it neat and tidy. It could be a one-time thing or a occasionally, as it pleases you. I still did it this morning. I help cleared the dirt around my hostel because I couldn't stand seeing everywhere messy. People have been passing by it since last week without doing anything. I woke up this morning to clear it off and it was neat again. I might decide to take my eyes off it too.
Think about a family that needs help and in what way they do need help, if you can assist, kindly do.
Assist in your workplace, there are always one or two things to do around us, let us figure that out and help. There will always be one or two things to do around you unless you just don't feel like doing it. It's okay! No one is gonna force you. It's a willing stuff but you take the credit when you actually help arrange one or two things. Do not say "it's not my work"
The truth is there is always a reward for people like this. If it doesn't come immediately, just know people are watching you from a corner, you may not know. Do it from your heart and not "let me just do it anyhow". Remember volunteering to help someone is like a sacrifice.
Tutoring students: We have seen this everywhere especially in the universities where some particular students would bring it up to help students by arranging tutorials in preparation for their exams. Do you know if they do not want to do it, no one will hold them down? They actually want to help students pass even if they have to collect money from it. They sacrifice their time, energy and everything for the period of time to assist students who are battling to understand a subject.
Mentoring a child: Joel Osteen has volunteered to always drop a podcast every morning which I do listen to. He actually sacrificed his time to inspire us. We have different mentors who we learn from them everyday. They are volunteers who mentors their followers.
Donating books, either the ones you had or get new ones: You have read a book and you find it interesting and inspiring, you then borrow it out to someone to be inspired too. You are a volunteer. Don't keep the knowledge to yourself alone. Lend the books you have read out. Donate books to people and let them learn from it too.

I remember I volunteer also a general clean-up in our barrio princess. It's helping to each other so the cleanliness will maintain in our home place. We have also planting trees and abacas. We went to the seashore to pick up the garbages.
