A Helping Hand!!! Blog 4

This week has been such a busy week for me. Working a full-time job and going to school full-time demands hard work, dedication, and time. Although, I may have a busy schedule, I  still find time to help others who are in need. I get great joy out of helping people, whether its giving a lost out-of-towner directions or moving a friend into a new home. Now, don't get me wrong, there are some people in this world that will take kindness for weakness, but I do not worry about them, because those people do not last long in this world. Earlier this week, I had the privilege of helping some of my classmates who were having trouble with an assignment. I was eager to help because I had prior experience with the task of the assignment. After the session, my classmates offered to take me out to lunch. I declined, because I did not mind helping them. In contrast to my actions, there  are people in this world that will not help anyone, but themselves. For example, there was a family stranded on the side of the road. The weather topped at 100 degrees and I saw cars driving right by them. So, at the next exit, I got off and went to help them. The mother told me that they were stranded for at least an hour and I was the first person to stop and help them. I could not believe that in today's world people will not stop to help a family in need. I helped the family with the car and they wanted to pay me, but again I declined, because my blessings will come from above. I'm a believer in, "when you do good, good things will happen." Christmas should not just be in December, but all year 'round.

  1. i agree! we are here to serve and people just don't want to be a blessing anymore. God will bless you because of your heart for people and when he bless you, man your are overwhelmed. Praise God for you because we need more people with your spirit. continue to be a blessing. may God continue to prosper you and your family.

  2. One of my favorite quotes, from Henry James: "In life, three things are important. The first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind."

    If we operate out of kindness, we can't go wrong.
