Those who serve!

Merry Christmas, happy holidays and a very Happy New Year to any who might be perusing this post.

And, to those who serve and who build and protect communities on a daily basis a sincere thank you for all of your efforts.

As we take a moment or two at this time of year to reflect on those things we call blessings it seems appropriate to offer appreciation to those who daily serve ...

as caregivers
as protectors
as public policy makers
as teachers
as volunteers
as educators
as spiritual advisors
as optimists
as investors
as board members

as people who make a difference in the lives of others without thinking much about it because it just what they do. All communities need these people and as we continue thinking about community building we need to think THANKS for the difference these givers make.
