There are people in this world who have no one to look in on them, or talk or even give them a smile. It doesn't take a great deal of time for you to smile or shake someone's hand.
We seem to be too busy for that personal connection with another. I understand busy but come on.. what does it take for each of us to stand next to an elderly person and start a conversation or a child/adult that is all alone to ask if they are okay or how their day is going? Not a heck of a lot of time, does it?
Someone told me once .. to be kind and help someone else in need could be your saving grace.. you never know if it could be one of Heaven's Angels testing you. Now whether you believe in that or not is only within you and you alone, but still stands on testing you... you as a human being to your fellow man.
And around the Holidays it is so important. These are the days that is wrapped around family and friends and parties (or it should be) . Pick a gift from the Angel Tree and give a gift to a child or elderly that doesn't have anyone to share Merry Christmas with or if you can't help out with Thanksgiving at Salvation Army or a church for those in need- give to a food drive. Give to a coat drive or Toys for Tots or help out with feeding the elderly; any of these may be small to us but to someone else, it can mean the world. Face it, this day and time, more and more of us are having hard times. We here in the United States are the most giving and I am hopeful that other countries help their friends in need as well.
Most of us do this already and a great deal of us can not but we still can give smile and a hand.
Be kind to someone today....... Be that smile and hope for them.
Thanks-----
