Tonight we went to hear some friends talk about a trip they recently took to Belize. They went with a group of 19 people to build a cabin for a camp there. They spent their own money and took their own holiday time to do it. Everyone who went said they took the trip intending to help someone out and make someone else's life richer but came home feeling that they were the ones who had their lives enriched. It's a great reminder that helping someone else often ends up making us feel better than the person we helped. Hopefully I can remember this great life lesson and make it an integral part of my life to realize that helping others out isn't putting my own life on hold, it's making my life so much richer. A.
