Service to mankind is beneficial if performed without egoism and doership. Otherwise, service with egoistic desire can be an obstruction for moksha, final liberation.

Aku Mengenang Kasih Tuhan Dengan Rasa Syukur dan Ingin Mengikuti-Nya Sampai Akhir
Belakangan, ketika melakukan saat teduhku, aku membaca firman Tuhan ini: "Setiap saat Iblis merusak manusia atau menimbulkan bahaya yang tak terkendali, Tuhan tidak berdiam diri saja, demikian pula Dia tidak mengesampingkan atau menutup mata terhadap orang-orang yang telah dipilih-Nya. Semua yang Iblis lakukan sangat jelas dan dipahami oleh Tuhan. Tidak peduli apa pun yang Iblis lakukan, tidak peduli ia menyebabkan munculnya tren apa, Tuhan tahu semua yang Iblis sedang coba untuk lakukan, dan Tuhan tidak menyerahkan mereka yang telah dipilih-Nya. Sebaliknya, tanpa menarik perhatian, secara tenang dan diam-diam, Tuhan melakukan segala sesuatu yang diperlukan …. Dia melakukan banyak hal bagi manusia dan dengan pengorbanan yang besar; manusia tidak merasakan pengorbanan atau pun hal-hal yang Tuhan lakukan ini sedikit pun. Namun, segala yang Dia lakukan dalam kenyataannya diperbuat-Nya bagi setiap orang" ("Tuhan itu Sendiri, Tuhan yang Unik VI"). "Jadi, apa tepatnya yang Tuhan berikan kepada manusia? Apakah Dia hanya memberimu sedikit perhatian, kepedulian, dan pertimbangan ketika engkau tidak memperhatikan? Apa yang telah Tuhan berikan kepada manusia? Tuhan telah memberikan kehidupan kepada manusia, memberi manusia segalanya, dan memberikan karunia kepada manusia tanpa syarat tanpa menuntut apa pun, tanpa niat tersembunyi. Dia menggunakan kebenaran, menggunakan firman-Nya, menggunakan hidup-Nya untuk memimpin dan membimbing manusia, membawa manusia menjauh dari bahaya Iblis, jauh dari godaan Iblis, jauh dari rayuan Iblis, dan membuat manusia dapat melihat dengan jelas sifat jahat Iblis dan wajahnya yang menyeramkan. Apakah kasih dan perhatian Tuhan kepada umat manusia itu benar? Apakah itu sesuatu yang dapat engkau semua alami? (Ya.)" (Tuhan itu Sendiri, Tuhan yang Unik IV").
Apa yang Harus Kuperbuat Setelah Suamiku Berselingkuh? (Bagian 1)
Firman Tuhan sekali lagi membuatku menangis. Aku mengerti bahwa setiap kali Iblis membangkitkan tren jahat, Tuhan memahami dengan tepat maksud jahatnya untuk merusak dan menyakiti manusia, Dia tahu betapa kejam cara-cara yang Iblis gunakan untuk menyakiti manusia, dan Dia tahu segala kelemahan kita. Agar kita dapat menjauhkan diri dari bahaya yang disebabkan oleh Iblis dan membedakan semua bujuk rayu dan pencobaan Iblis, Tuhan diam-diam melakukan banyak pekerjaan melalui kita. Dia memilih kita untuk datang ke hadapan-Nya, memakai firman-Nya untuk menerangi dan membimbing kita, memampukan kita untuk memahami kebenaran dan melihat kejahatan dan keburukan Iblis serta motif-motif kejinya. Tuhan memakai firman-Nya untuk memampukan kita perlahan-lahan menjauh dari kerusakan dan bujuk rayu Iblis, sehingga kita tidak lagi disakiti olehnya. Merenungkan kembali hidupku, jika bukan karena keselamatan Tuhan yang tepat pada waktunya, aku khawatir kalau aku akan menjadi makin terperosok dalam kepedihan, tak lama lagi aku akan didiagnosis menderita depresi klinis karena begitu murung setiap hari, dan tentu akan berakhir dengan disakiti dan dilahap oleh Iblis. Syukur atas keselamatan Tuhan yang tepat pada waktunya, dan aku bersyukur kepada Tuhan karena menghibur aku melalui firman-Nya dan memampukan aku untuk menemukan penopang dan merasakan kehangatan di tengah-tengah kesendirian dan keputusasaanku. Terlebih lagi, firman Tuhanlah yang telah menuntun dan membimbingku sehingga akhirnya memahami sumber dari semua kepedihanku dan meninggalkan rasa sakit itu.
Setelah mengalami kemalangan dalam pernikahanku, aku benar-benar menyadari bahwa cinta romantis itu tidak tulus, dan cinta "sampai maut memisahkan kita" bahkan lebih merupakan mimpi yang tidak nyata. Dengan bergantung pada gagasan dan pandangan Iblis dalam pencarian kita akan cinta yang sempurna, akhirnya kita dikuasai dan ditipu oleh Iblis, dan hidup kita menjadi makin menyakitkan. Hanya dengan datang ke hadapan Tuhan, membaca firman-Nya dan mengejar kebenaran dengan sungguh-sungguh, memahami semua tipu daya Iblis, membebaskan diri kita dari gagasan-gagasan Iblis yang keliru, dan bertindak sesuai dengan firman Tuhan dalam segala hal, kita dapat mencapai kedamaian, kebahagiaan dan kebebasan sejati. Bahwa hari ini aku bisa memperoleh pembekalan kebenaran, ini lebih berharga dan lebih bernilai daripada hal duniawi yang mungkin kudapatkan. Saat ini, aku merasakan penghargaan yang mendalam atas kasih sejati Tuhan. Syukur kepada Tuhan! Mulai sekarang, aku ingin mengikuti Tuhan dengan sungguh-sungguh dan melaksanakan tugasku dengan baik untuk membalas Tuhan atas keselamatan-Nya bagiku.

As appreciation for their selfless community contribution of carting/ferrying/driving passengers around safely, gift a public transportation driver with a stunning, intricate twig and floral crown. Pose next to them (in your matching crown) while they wear it.
Representatives with the Cape Girardeau Fire Department presented to the family of Gene Huckstep a plaque honoring his leadership, vision, and selfless service that "planted the seeds from which today's multi-jurisdictional rescue capabilities have grown."
Former Presiding County Commissioner Huckstep demonstrated his dedication to the citizens of Cape Girardeau County providing the first rescue extrication service in the area beginning in the 1960s. During his 22 years in providing this service, he personally answered nearly 2,000 calls.
He continued to provide this service until 1986, when he assisted in arranging an agreement with the City of Cape Girardeau, City of Jackson, and Cape Girardeau County, in which the City of Cape Girardeau Fire Department would provide rescue extrication services throughout the County. In that same year, Huckstep also provided leadership in obtaining and equipping the City’s first rescue truck - a converted Bunny Bread truck. This rescue truck provided county-wide extrication service for 10 years.
In 1994 Huckstep again assisted efforts to replace the City’s original rescue truck with a new truck, known as Rescue 4. The new truck was dedicated and placed into service on March 19, 1996.
This is the original plaque that adorned the side of Rescue 4 while it responded to thousands of rescue calls throughout Cape Girardeau County, until being retired this past year.
September 8th is observed as National Paediatric Hematology/Oncology Nurses Day as well as World Physical Therapy Day too.
The day is devoted to recognizing the great service & dedication of health professionals bringing care to patients every day. National Paediatric Hematology/Oncology Nurses empowers quality nursing care for children, adolescents, & young adults with cancer & blood disorders. They do provide the highest standard of physical & emotional support to these most precious patients & their families.
Paediatric oncology care requires special skills & training. Not only children respond to pain differently, but their growing bodies require specialized attention. These nurses provide valuable care & guidance to families of these children. From the beginning of the diagnosis to the completion, untiring support of these experts in paediatric care is essential. Day & night, the nurses answer questions, monitor & track patient’s progress. Their knowledge of each patient’s needs provides essential information to the entire team.
We should definitely recognize paediatric hematology/oncology nurses & support them as they strive to make every child healthier. In return, we can experience an overwhelming sense of respect, appreciation for their service & opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others.
Paediatric hematology/oncology nursing is a very dynamic & evolving discipline in modern medicine, which requires in-depth knowledge that the paediatric nurse acquires with training & experience. The service to paediatric disorders is really an art, very cautiously applied to children & adolescent boys/girls converting playfulness to therapy.
World Physical Therapy Day is also observed on September 8, every year, with a purpose to increase the awareness about the crucial contribution of the physiotherapists & the chronic pain therapies done by them to keep us well & healthy.
The day is utilised to highlight the unity & solidarity of the global physiotherapy community. In this therapy, trained professionals evaluate & treat abnormal physical functions related to injury, disability, movement disorders. Physiotherapist is a trained & licensed medical professional experienced in diagnosing physical abnormalities, restoring physical function-related-mobility. They also help in maintaining physical functionality, promoting physical mobility & proper function.
TAILPIECE: Let’s respect the selfless service of all healthcare professionals, especially, the paediatric oncology care providers, who deal with children, where they need ultimate patience, calmness, kindness, creativity & playfulness.

The Los Angeles Fire Department and the Los Angeles City Firefighters Association are proud to recognize Captain II Richard Moody as "Firefighter of the Year” for his many personal and professional accomplishments during calendar year 2023.
With 24 years of exceptional service to the people of Los Angeles, Captain Moody brings spirited leadership, selfless dedication, approachability and positivity to all he does.
Prior to joining the Los Angeles Fire Department in 2000, Richard spent ten years as a paid-call Firefighter and Captain for the Orange County Fire Authority.
After commencing his LAFD career, he quickly discovered a love for firefighting truck operations, and was soon promoted to Apparatus Operator, serving that role with distinction at Fire Stations 17 (Industrial Eastside), 102 (Valley Glen), 10 (Convention Center District), and 98 (Pacoima).
Earning a promotion to Captain I, he proudly served a leadership role at Station 41 serving Hollywood and the Hollywood Hills, before achieving a special duty position in LAFD Tactical Planning. His many contributions to that demanding specialty assignment helped him in earning a promotion to Captain II and service as the Task Force Commander at busy Fire Station 11 in the Westlake / MacArthur Park area. With a leadership style characterized by an open-door policy, Captain Moody has never missed an opportunity to train and learn alongside those in his command, and has been perpetually noted for always putting the needs of his crew first.
With Captain Moody's highly specialized skills and experience in high demand, he was soon assigned to the LAFD Critical Incident Planning and Training Section (CIPTS) to handle complex logistics, where he has supported the department's multitude of large-personnel commitments to incidents such as brush fires, civil unrest, municipal events, large-scale emergencies and memorial services for firefighters.
It is worthy of noting that he has served on the logistics cadre in almost every LAFD fallen member's memorial service for the last 20 years, as well as compassionately assisting other Fire and Police agencies in their most difficult moments.
His ever-expanding role within the Department and in support of allied agencies is indeed legendary, including service as a member of FEMA Task Force 1, Field Incident Management Team, and as a Trustee of the Los Angeles Firemen's Relief Association. A beloved mentor, he selflessly assists with LAFD In-Service Apparatus Operator training videos and has presented the essential After Action Review for the Apparatus Operators Core Program. He enjoys helping with Department related fundraisers such as golf tournaments, Hope For Firefighters and other important events, such as the LAFD Valor Awards.
Captain Moody served the demanding role as the Logistics Section Chief for the Getty Fire in 2019, overseeing the first-ever 100% City-Managed Base Camp for over 2,000 firefighters. It was a milestone success for our Department, and his Logistics Section set a new standard for the support, care and treatment of deployed firefighters in the midst of a major firefight.
At CIPTS, Richard has created a full-time logistical support group, supplying a wide variety of equipment and vehicles, developing vendor relationships and designing response procedures for both planned and emergency events near and far. He has an uncommon ability to say “yes” to - and most importantly deliver, any requested need from the Department or City, no matter how big or small, through the remarkable relationships he has developed within and beyond the LAFD.
As but one example, within 12 hours of the Mayor's request, Rich assembled and led a team to open a first-of-its-kind Covid-19 Public Testing Site at the LAFD Frank Hotchikin Training Center in Elysian Park, fully staffed by nurses, doctors and firefighters. The site served as the blueprint for and eventually expanded into the Dodger Stadium vaccine super-site.
Other special events that Captain Moody and his LAFD CIPTS team have overseen include the Space Shuttle Endeavour final move, U.S. Special Olympics, World Police and Fire Games, L.A. Port Fleet Weeks, Dodgers, Lakers and Kings games, The Summit of the Americas, and countless concerts, festivals, ceremonies, protests and award shows.
He is looking forward to participating on LAFD’s team to organize and manage a successful City deployment for the LA2028 Summer Olympics.
Without question, Rich exemplifies leadership and humility in the ever-changing role of our Department. The men and women of therefore heartily congratulate Captain II Richard Moody for being named 2023 Firefighter of the Year!

Happy Birthday Army! Sunday, June 14, marks the 240th year of the U.S. Army. In 1775 our nation's leaders established the Continental Army. Today, the Army is the strategic landpower of the joint force; called upon to prevent, shape, and win against our adversaries.
This year, we celebrate 240 years of selfless service to the nation. Selfless service is at the core of what it means to be a Soldier - putting the welfare of others ahead of oneself. The willingness of our Soldiers - to place themselves in harm's way and to protect our nation's freedoms - is what makes us the premier all-volunteer force. The Army has served proudly, faithfully, and selflessly for 240 years, and we remain steadfast in our commitment.
240 Years of Selfless Service to the Nation
The Army continues to serve the United States with extraordinary Soldiers, Families and civilians, who display exceptional character in defense of our nation. The Soldiers of the Continental Army helped forge a bond with Americans built on duty and victory, which sustains our profession 240 years later. As we answer the nation's call, we remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in our fight for freedom.
Altruism or selflessness is the principle or practice of concern for the welfare of others. Part of the 26 by 26 challenge. Trying to save others applies I think?
Nauny tried to keep her sister from getting any dirtier by carrying her back. Didn't work out quite as planned but at least she tried.
I was graced with the selfless friendship of this great American from 1983 onwards. We met last at the University of Chicago in the summer of 1992 when I flew from Washington DC to see him. He was without a doubt among the most decent, honourable and scholarly of all economists in the 20th Century.

Agape: selfless uncondititional love. Something I've strived very hard to show this past year. This tattoo bears a lot of meaning for me, its not something I decided to get merely a whim. During a time when I was beaten down emotionally and drained spiritually, the takeway I got from it was wanting to show Christ-like love to others when it wasn't shown to me. Sure I'm sometimes blunt and will tell you how I feel, but it doesn't nor should it detract from the love I try to convey to people. If there's anything I want to show people by being a follower of Christ is that its not a message about hateful condemnation, its about love.
