As a mother, grandmother, and teacher, it has been an amazing experience to help nurture others and to be a significant influence in their lives. I've also been thinking of how much I have learned through this service.
- Patience - growth and change take time - a lifetime
- Faith - act knowing and focused on potentiel
- Love - put your whole soul into helping others
- Acceptance - that real love often means saying, "No"
- Trust - in others' underlying goodness
- Work - relationships and developing talents takes time and effort
- Forgiveness - look inward before judging another
- Appreciation - value effort and intent, not just the product
- Compassion - see with the heart
