Neighbors Helping Neighbors

. Now I noticed that Gideon helps an old widow who lives nearby, and he rakes her yard, and brings her pound cake. He said it is what she craves. He dosen’t get paid for this. I’m proud to count Gideon amoung my friends. The world is better because he is in it. So this brings us back to the question of what would you do if you knew your neighbor were hungry, or cold. The thing to do is not judge him. Help him! If later on, you find he just doesn’t want to work, or do anything to better his situation, or is taking advantage of your kindness, decide then, if you can stop helping. Maybe you can look for an agency who will help him if he is truly unable to help himself. But at the beginning, don’t judge, just help.

. It’s a funny thing about helping people. When you help others, you get the greatest reward. Humility and service are very important and very desireable qualities to have. Any one of us, who sit in our homes, and at our tables abundant with food, could loose it all tomorrow. How grateful we would feel if someone showed up with food and a blanket for our comfort and well being. I hope you would feel prompted by the spirit, to help those in need. For by service to others, we gain so much more.
