know in my heart that I can not begin to thank you enough while our time on earth lasts for all the ways that you have loved me. During the good times and e$@$%ally through the bad times. I know that I will never be able to repay the debt that is owed to you in our time on earth. While I know all of these things to be true, I also know that we will be able to rejoice in Heaven with one another at the grandest party of all times. Please know how very much I LOVE YOU. Your BIG Brother.

Your prayers have been heard and grace has been blessed upon those that you have prayed for. I trust that the Lord will know of your gracious works and reward you in kind. Deuteronomy 1:11 I pray that the Lord, the God of you ancestors, will give you 1000 times more than that of your needs and do all of the wonders he has promised. I have been blessed in more ways than you may know and I thank you for being my guidance back to my Lord and Savior. I pray that all the days that lay ahead of you will be blessed and filled with Grace, In Jesus name. Amen. I LOVE YOU BABBY SISTER.

I have been a volunteer for almost 13 years now. I volunteer for a local rescue squad, and have volunteered for fire departments as well. I have come across many different people who volunteer over the years, they also volunteer for the purpose to help the community that they live in.
There are many different aspects to this line of work. The people who volunteer come from many different backgrounds; there are nurses, doctors, lawyers, business men, and career paramedics. The career paramedics are the ones who work for a fire department, and then volunteer in their local community. In todayâs world most people who do this are cross trained in fire and rescue.
The training is the same for everyone. One of the drawbacks is that itâs long and challenging. Everyone starts at the basic level and works their way up to paramedic. The basic class is 100 hours, and the paramedic class is 1500 hours. Most places you work now are going toward the two year college program, because they are trying to attract young people to the field. There are night classes for those who donât want a degree, but it could take up to five years to reach the paramedic level that way. The training doesnât stop there; there are specialty classes that most agencies require. Then there is continuing education, if you donât get your continuing education you have to start all over at the beginning.
Once you are past the training you get to help people in their hour of need. This could be anything from someone being lonely to the gory car accidents. This is what draws most people to this line of work, the ability to help others. It is very satisfying knowing that you made a difference in someoneâs life, and that a simple thank you makes you feel like you won the lottery. Most people that I know and work with donât look at working around a crashed car or a house that is on fire as a danger. We all look at it as what we were called to do! Itâs that same calling that out ways the risks by far, and all we need is a thank you. Most people you might ask would say that itâs hard to explain why they do it; they just have the love and the calling.
As an active volunteer there are may different aspects, itâs those same aspects that get people hooked. Itâs the great feeling they have at the end of the day that keeps bringing them back. Like I said it is hard to explain, so if you have the time visit your local rescue squad or fire department. You will be made part of their family as soon as you walk in the door!

A Love Like This (C2008) Mar 16, 2008

Thou hast called me to Thy Love, O'Lord
Thou hast called my name and I am Yours
I am compelled O' Precious Love; My Savior, My Lord,
to return all You have given unto me
tell Thee how deeply, how sincerely, how undyingly I love Thee

I cannot express the depths of this feeling within
I cannot love You too much or too often, O'God
That only Thee can be my Love, like this

How do I love Thee O' God, My Father?
How do I love Thee O' God, Thy son?
How do I love Thee, O' Holy Holy Spirit?
I love Thee with all that I am; all I shall ever be
I love Thee knowing there can never be another Love like this ...

I love Thy face,Thy hands and Thy feet; they are the eye of my mind
I love Thy face, Thy mirrored image as I look back upon myself
I love Thy hands which have created me in Thy Image
Thy hands,which have made me wonderous and beautiful in Thine...
