So today I'm taking a momentary pause from grand acts of service and reminding myself that sometimes the small acts of service are just as important. Sometimes life has a way of slowing you down (without sending your to a far off land without your present reality) and reminding you that service can also be lending a hand or supporting others, especially when we feel like we don't have time or don't really want to. Listening to a friend, encouraging someone who needs some extra attention, visiting family, being patient with others, taking care of someone who's sick, or helping someone move. Any time we do something that we are not excited to do, but our actions result in making someone else happy, we are serving, sometimes in the best way :)
This is an opportunity for me to reflect on the service I have done in my life and how I can utilize my own stories and experiences to inspire my Spanish students to start small, but dream big in their quest to leave their mark on our world.
