A Helping Hand

One of the many online businesses, that I faithfully patronize, regularly texts “feel good” quotes to their customers, and this was one that particularly caught my attention last week,

“Kindness: Loaning someone your strength instead of reminding them of their weakness.”

So SIMPLE...So EASY...And yet highly challenging for so many...And unlike the kind of loans that one might distribute, fully knowing that it’s not coming back (come on now, I know I’m not the only that can relate to “loaning” a family member their $50 contribution towards the parents Christmas gift last year...I’ve stopped waiting, but if you’re reading this—-I need my money Harlon)....There will be those times when you freely loan and will surely not see a return, at least from the recipient that is!

You see it cost me ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to loan:

*My ear when I see a loved one needs to talk...

*My experience when I encounter someone on a path that I’ve already walked...

*[And yes, with full transparency]...My material/financial resources, when I know that God has spoken as he spoke in
