Until recently, I never thought that this could be a service to the Gods. But in thinking about it, I believe any time you give selflessly of yourself, that this "giving back" is sacred... whether that's fundraising, or working at a soup kitchen, removing non-native plant species from the state park, or recycling.
I agree, and I like how you have worded it here.
I think that it's important to do things that are selfless. Although, as Phoebe said in Friends (

), nothing is ever truly selfless as you feel good about doing the selfless act. But I think that you
should feel good about doing such an act.
Doing things for the good of the community, or even the whole planet, as opposed to doing something purely for yourself, is a wonderful thing to do. And yes, I think on some levels it is a sacred act.
