I once stopped behind several cars in an intersection. The winter
weather was icy cold and a strong artic wind blew relentlessly. Ahead of
me a young woman stood alongside the street rubbing her bare hands
together and dancing in place to keep warm. Beside her rested a sign
that read, "I have a baby and no food." She was obviously crying, likely
from the pain of the cold wind.
Homeless and unemployed people are a common sight in many of our larger
cities, and most motorists drive by without offering assistance. They
have no doubt been taught that giving money fosters
a dependent lifestyle, or the ready cash may be used to purchase
alcohol or another substance rather than the food it was intended
for. Like me, they may have been taught that one should give to a
local charity or through one's church, as these institutions can help
those in need far more effectively.
This, of course, is true, but I am reminded of the college students who
encountered a homeless man on the sidewalk. One of the students took a
couple of dollars from his wallet and handed it to the unfortunate
stranger. His friend commented, "Why did you do that?
He's just going to spend it on booze or drugs." The student answered,
"Yeah...like we're not!"
As I waited for the light to turn, I felt conflicted about that young
woman. Whether or not I should give money, she was obviously in need.
And whether or not she actually had a baby really didn't seem to matter.
I gave up guessing people's motives and analyzing their stories long
ago. It was cold. She was cold. And she obviously felt she had to be
there.
What should I do? Give her money? What was best?
As I wrestled with these questions, the window rolled down from the car
in front of me and a hand shot out holding a warm pair of gloves. The
driver took her own gloves off and gave them to the shivering woman. I
saw the young woman mouth the words "Thank you" as a broad smile lit up
her face.
As I debated, somebody else helped. As I hesitated, somebody else
acted. As I tried to decide the BEST way to assist, somebody else
just did what she could. As I did nothing, she did something.
I made myself a pledge that day to always do SOMETHING. Whether it is
big or small, just do something. Something is almost always better
than nothing!
Educator Leo Buscaglia said, "Too often we underestimate the power of a
touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or
the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to
turn a life around." Don't underestimate what you CAN do! Each of us
can do something, and the something you do may be more important than
you'll ever know.

Confidence Trust and Hope!
*CONFIDENCE: *
Once all village people decided to pray for rain. On the day of prayer all
people gathered and only one boy came with an Umbrella.... ..that's
confidence!
*TRUST:*
Trust should be like the feeling of a one year old baby when you throw him
in the air, he laughs.....because he knows you will catch him.
*HOPE:*
Every night we go to bed, we have no assurance to get up alive in the next
morning but still you have plans for the coming day.
KEEP CONFIDENCE, TRUST OTHERS AND NEVER LOSE HOPE!
Have a good day!!!
