I had my head shaved again for St. Baldrick's yesterday. Shout out to the folks who came out to see me go "bald" and the people who donated. From this seemingly simple act, I cannot help but think about the kids who lose their hair to chemo. The pain and suffering from the side effects of chemo that they go through. The people in my family who have gone through the same ordeal.
I am yet again reminded and question myself as to why I support such causes...
Blood. Hair. Time.
All of which I've donated and given up in the last 2-5 years all for different causes. From an outside perspective it is, I daresay, masochistic.
The blood I donate is put aside for somebody who needs it. The hair I give up is in solidarity with the kids with cancer and to raise money for childhood cancer research. The time and manpower I offer for PCCV in promotion of being pro-life.
It took me until now to realize that I've been in support of saving life this whole time.
Blood to save somebody's life. Hair for money to save a child's life. Time to save an unborn child's life.
Is what I'm doing for my fellow man going to save a life? Am I saving people from death of the body like Christ did? I realize that although what I have done is a good thing, Christ does it better. He gave up His life so our souls could continue living. Forever.
Sharing His Word to our fellow man is the best kind of "supporting a cause".
