Do you know that feeling you get when something bad happens to you and it requires you to ask someone for help and instead of helping you, they look at you with discuss, like how dare you ask me for help.Today I was at the gas station and this woman in her early to late forties, walked up to some random people with a gas can in hand . I watched while she went from car to car asking for help. People were rude, mean, and one guy had the nerve to tell her she should have look at her gas hand before she left her house. She didn't ask us for help, so I took the liberty of going to her. My husband and I gave her four dollars and gave her a ride back to her car.
WHAT HAS HAPPEN TO US? Where is the love, respect, and kindness? How do we expect our children to do the right thing when their role models don't even show human decency? We are so caught up in protecting ourselves, that we forget how to be human.
Instead of always saying no,why don't you try saying yes once in awhile. Helping others comes in many forms. It could be just giving a neighbor a ride, cleaning a sick friends house, or instead of throwing away old items, giving them to someone you know may need it.
Do onto other as you would be done onto.
No one person is better than any one else. We are all equal and we all bleed red. You could be just a bad day away from the homeless family that has to sleep on the streets. There are some many families that are just barely hanging on by a thread. Remember random acts of kindness helps everyone, even you.
Watch the movie Pay it Forward. Very inspirational.
What have you done today to help someone besides yourself?
