Doing good does not require some big, grandiose gesture.. There are ways to help that do not cost a thing. Do something simple, and you will have much to show.
It is the little things which make a big difference. When someone is hurting, just a few kind words can do wonders. It means so much to know someone cares.
A friendly chat can raise a person's spirits. Think of all the words we waste on a daily basis. Imagine these syllables being used not to hurt but to heal.
We all have talents which can be used for good. But we must be concerned for others and not just ourselves. Light focused on oneself is blinding.
There are those who will not appreciate what you do. It is best to stop doing things for them. All of your efforts could be better spent on the ones who can be helped.
Our time here is limited. None of us are guaranteed to see another day. Be a blessing and let the wicked curse as they may, for a little good goes a long way.
I got no prob with this as long as you can be open minded as to the various styles people have in showing it. You can't write the rules on how poeple act, and you cannot read a person's heart unless you are insightful. I never abandoned you, Don.
ReplyDeleteI wrote this as a celebration of an act of kindness, not a subtle rebuke. You have shown your friendship in many ways, Tommy. None of them were ignored and all are appreciated.

ReplyDeleteThey make a big difference, Chris. Big things are usually done for an agenda. The smaller ones do not make for a good photo opportunity.
