Do Good

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." - Paul in Galatians 6:9

In my 15+ years in the department, I've seen a lot of good done by our members. I've seen tires changed, wheelchairs pushed, yards mowed, groceries purchased, bikes bought and assembled, students tutored, and so much more. Our members are in the habit of going above and beyond. The picture above is a prime example of how we love and serve our community. Station 93D invited this family to dinner after they lost everything in an apartment fire, and their kindness didn't stop there. This is what it's all about: seeing a need, having compassion, and meeting that need.

As believers, we understand that we are blessed to be a blessing and it is better to give than to receive. If we're not careful, it is easy for poor leadership, politics, exes, bad news, and our own personal problems and struggles to discourage us from caring about anything or anyone. The Apostle Paul urges us to not get tired of doing the right thing. No matter what's going on in your life or at city hall, keep doing good. Keep going above and beyond. Keep treating others like family. Treat your family like family. You are blessed, now go and be a blessing.
