Remember “Heart Health”

When we hear “heart health”, we think about EKG’s, nutrition and activity to promote longevity and happiness in our lives.  I want to take that a step further and include our willingness to serve as another important aspect of “heart health.”

As children, we were taught to use our time, talents, and treasure for the good of others, to always have the heart of a servant.  I believe that some are born with a servant heart.  They naturally want to share their gifts, regardless of what or how much they have, and place importance on serving the underserved.  Others learn to serve by witnessing as they mature, random acts of kindness shown by others, therefore developing a sense of well-being or fulfillment after helping their fellow man.

How is your heart health?

As we begin the month of February, and begin the Lenten season, when the heart and its health are emphasized, may we also emphasize service to others not just for the 40 days of Lent, but as part of our daily lives.  At CEA serving the underserved is our mission and helps us to keep “heart health” at the center of our work.  We are grateful for every one of you that help us educate taxpayers on the value of the AZ Corporate and Individual tax credits, and the impact being made on our children, their families, and our community.

Want to improve your heart health?  Join us as we continue to change lives, and although I can’t promise you won’t have to have an EKG or better diet, I can promise the feeling you receive by helping others is priceless!

Have a Happy Valentine’s Day and Ash Wednesday!
