Have You Helped Someone This Week?

Charles Dudley said, and I quote: “It is one of the beautiful compensations of this life that no one can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.” I have always found this to be true. When I help someone, it makes ME feel good. It makes ME feel that perhaps I have made a difference in someone else’s life, for the better. Sometimes, a person has to MAKE AN EFFORT to sincerely help someone. Visit the older ones that you know and give them an opportunity to have a conversation with someone, instead of just sitting at home every day and watching TV. Older ones, especially those who live alone, get lonely for the company of others. So, perhaps we can all think of someone who would appreciate a visit. You might even take a cupcake or small dish of food for them to enjoy later. A phone call or a card is also appreciated. I send lots of cards and very often I receive kind words from those who receive my cards. I always try to include a scripture from the Bible or a small verse, usually one that I wrote myself. When I visit someone, or receive a “thank you” from someone who has received one of my cards or verses, it makes ME feel good that I made the effort to show love to someone else. So, the benefit to ME is worth any effort that I have made. Have you helped someone this week? If you have, then I know that you are happier because of it. Have a wonderful day! Picture by Pixabay
