It fills my heart with joy by helping others in need. I spend a lot of time volunteering and raising money for various charities from the Humane Society of Missouri to St. Louis Area Foodbank to Covenant House to the American Cancer Society.
"Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?" ~ God in "Evan Almighty"
