Your informed, “no,” to a particular service allows another
to offer their gifted and unreserved, “yes.”

Often it falls to a busy and talented person to learn of an opportunity for service. The opportunity is valid, and beneficial but it might be outside their passions, or interest. It is an important reminder I offer myself – just because I am capable of doing a thing is not the motivation for doing a thing. Passing on a viable opportunity for service may very well mean that the next person would be acting from their gifts and passion to embrace it with a resounding, “Yes.”
