Destination ImagiWHAT?

Destination ImagiNation. Some future fellow cruisers and I volunteered at Destination ImagiNation over the weekend. A nonprofit organization devoted to teaching Teamwork, Creativity, and Problem Solving. We participated in Disney’s Give-A-Day program in order to get a free ticket to any Disney park (a $90 value!). In order to get the ticket voucher we had to volunteer for one day at any organization/program in the area. Sounds easy huh? Well it was easy and really brought home the service message. A few times throughout the day I was referred to as the Disney girl who was there to get a ticket. This made me feel like a real jerk, but it also got me to thinkin’ (big surprise). Disney really hit a home run with this one. Communities win with extra volunteers, Disney gets crazy marketing and in the end people come together for service in the beginning and fun at the park in the end. Why can’t we see God and serving him the same way? We as Christians should jump at any chance to serve. Not only should we jump at the chance to serve, but we should seek out service opportunities. Throughout the day I was thinking, how am I bringing glory to God in this volunteer opportunity? We need to bring glory to his name in everything we do, and enjoy doing it because of his never ending love for us!
