Spirit of Volunteering

My church had a bazaar this past weekend, following a Christmas theme. It was great to see all the members of our church come together to produce a success. This year, as in past years, I volunteered in the gingerbread house room. Children, and adults, came to decorate gingerbread houses with candy, using icing as 'glue'. The houses themselves were made of graham crackers held together with icing. It was neat to see how the minds of some of the kids worked, whether they placed each piece of candy methodically or threw everything on. I know when my brother and I used to make them, mine had to be symmetrical. Also, volunteering means a lot. I get more out of the work I'm doing knowing that I don't get paid, than knowing that I do. It was enjoyable for everyone.
