<<LOOK`n thru YOU>> (OP) User ID: 922574 United States 01/27/2011 01:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is very nice. This post is not getting enough attention, or else everybody already knows all about it and just skips past it. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1244053It means something to me. Five stars. I thought it had a great message...It`s so easy to get wrapped up in the world and forget about the simple things that make a difference... obeonekanobie(sp?) here on the site said something the other day that went something like this----look at yourself as a ball of divine light, then go out and spread it to others and you`ll be suprised what a difference you can make.. I took that advice and tried it--it works wanders... Last Edited by <<LOOK`n thru YOU>> on 01/27/2011 01:40 PM |

I told him Hi when I walked in but I sure felt compelled to visit with him more but I had a moment of weakness. I`m not good in situations like that..definately an area I need to work on..I did say several prayers for him while we waited..But it just didn`t seem to be enough..It really bothered me that he was all alone..if that was my wife, or daughter/son I would have been right there beside him...sad picture that made an imprint on my soul Last Edited by <<LOOK`n thru YOU>> on 01/27/2011 02:39 PM |

If we are confessing here, let me tell you of my missed opportunity. A little old lady in the lobby at the grocery store had two full carts of groceries and, apparently, was asking everybody who walked past her for a ride home. I, too, had an overflowing grocery cart. As I passed by her, I hesitated for just a moment, considering the logistics of all of these groceries fitting into my itty bitty car. During that moment, she stopped a man who stood there listening, and I took that moment to shove off and head for home. I still cannot live down how badly I felt about not instantly volunteering to help this obviously needy woman. All she needed was a ride home. I should not have thought twice about helping her. Since then, when I am in the grocery store, I help old people get things down off the top shelf; I stand there and chat with them in the middle of an aisle for as long as they want to chat; I help them unload their groceries at the check-out line. I seek out instances where I can be helpful. Maybe one day, I'll even run into that poor old lady who needed a ride home with her groceries. Point is: you will be afforded other moments in which you can be helpful, and they will make up for the one moment where you hesitated. It is like a catalyst. |
