Good Energy of Voluntary Service
Hong Hyeon-ja from Hwaseong, Korea
The day before the street cleanup in Namyang-eup, my body felt heavy and my head ached; it seemed that I caught a cold. However, I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to do voluntary service after a long time.
The next day, when I arrived at the gathering place and put on the yellow vest, I felt energized somehow.
As it was the day when a five-day interval Namyang village market was opened, there were lots of people, and the crowded streets were dirty with trash.
While we were picking up trash with no time to stand up, sweat rolled down my back. The breeze that blew once in a while didn’t feel cold but refreshing. During the street cleanup, the feeling under the weather and a light fever on my head were all gone. The happiness I felt through the voluntary service must’ve had a good influence on my mind and body.
I experienced it once again that everything we do according to God’s teaching makes us healthy and happy.
