This guy. My sweet husband has been named Mercy Health Center's Volunteer of the Year. (They give 2 VotY awards - one to a medical professional, and the other to a volunteer who is not a doctor or nurse or pharmacist.)
I know exactly why they chose Jason. Not only is he passionate about the work Mercy is doing, he is passionate about serving people and helping folks who really need it. He devotes a lot of time to Mercy, and they really love him there! We love him, too. Molly, Sam and I couldn't be more proud of him!
He truly embodies Romans 12:3-13.
Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us. Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.
In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.
Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality.
