In this often crazy and mixed up world we find ourselves in there are many good people. The un-sung heroes very often go un-noticed as they give their time willingly to help others.
Whether you go past charity shops, or visit a local hospital there are volunteers helping out. Some local churches have a weekly Soup Run to help the homeless. It’s not only people who need helping out these days as I’ve seen animal rescue hospitals asking for dog and cat food to be donated.
Of course, if you work full time it is more difficult …..you are no doubt looking for 26 hours in your day just to fit family life in, let alone giving time to help others.
No matter what our situation we can perhaps still help someone. It may just be helping someone cross the road safely …or even when next out shopping you may find someone struggling to lift something down from too high a shelf …why not offer to lift it down for them. It’s the little things in life that can mean so much to people ….we all hurry getting from A to B and often thinking about what is next on our list of things to do. Only natural of course but sometimes isn’t it nice just to stop …take a deep breath …and smile. People may wonder what you’re doing but I bet they will smile too, and just for that second feel a lot better for it.
Jan looking through those rose tinted glasses again? Well maybe but as we all face different ‘pressures’ I’ve found that by taking time out …and helping someone you can make a difference.
All the best Jan
