In February of 2016, the organization I do volunteer work with received a certificate of appreciation from the Mik'maw Native Friendship Centre. In April of that year, my wife and I received an award from the Province in recognition of volunteer work we do. In November of that year we were nominated as Halifax Heroes in a local newspaper and the following year we received Canada 150 awards from the Government of Canada.
We do not do the volunteer work we do to get recognition. We do it because there is a need for it to be done. Getting recognition is a side effect. Many years ago, I placed my will and my life into the care of God as I understand God. So, we are doing, as it is said, God's work. I am ever mindful that any success I experience today is far greater His success than mine.
That keeps me humble.
