With Appreciation, Thank you
My First Day....of SERVICE ended few hours ago and words failed to discribe my feelings or the thoughts that broke into my mind as i painted every wall and made a difference in single mother's life who lack a home. i felt like we gave an opportunity tp understand what i refused to see for years as what service is.
service has no definition, it can be helping a freind through homework, it can be taking your grandma to the doctor, it can building a home, or playing with a child. i may not see the impact of the service i do but it effected me in the strongest way....it made me think...it made me become more of a human. i was no thinkig about our dinner today or our drive through traffic...i was thinking of how i will impact those single women at Light House Path?
every woman passed by smiled at us....thanked us with a cheer. i am sure painting a wall may seem worthless but the fact that we are trying to beautify thier environment....made me feel happy...the fact that they were happy made me happy. when i first knew i was going to Light House Path, i was not that excited as i did not view that as a "great " community Service...as i been doing homes for the past few months. after today, i relazed service is happiness, service is humanity, service is a journey within oneself. it is something beyond words and i can not even think about it now..... Adam said ... "i need time to reflect and obsorbe everything"
so far i am having fun....but it did not hit me how this week is going to impact em for the rest of my life,,,it will change my career, my veiw and my faith...it will make me the Hope that i will follow till the end.
i just loved my first day and i have nothing else to say as words fail to create the depth of my thoughts.
much love,
Amal Hassan
