Being of service to those in need is the tenant of a life well lived.  We are here to lend a helping hand to our brothers.  The Urban Dictionaries definition of an Earth Angel, is someone who often unexpectedly becomes a source of inspiration and support at a time when you need it most.

In the heart of the Echo Park neighborhood in Los Angeles is the Angelus Temple  overseen by Matthew Barnett.  The Angelus Temple brings light to the work that needs to be done in all of our communities.

Check out their targeted ministry through a program they call The Dream Center here  and enjoy Pastor Matthew Barnett on the Today Show with Kathie Lee & Hoda link to the video here. 

Get inspired to do something in your community adopting his 24 hours of service idea.  Take 24 hours and become an honest to goodness Earth Angel.  Reap a harvest of love in action moving forward and perform tiny acts of love with great intention.  Experience the blossoming of the completeness of sharing your gifts in the life of another who needs those gifts.  Let this magnificent light of service be a blessing.

Enjoy!
