Something to give...
Tweet
I went for a walk this morning. This cool air and breeze were calling my name, so I took a quick stroll around the neighborhood before work.
I passed a house with a sign on the door that said, "Yes, we have NO MONEY today."
I don't know any more details about that house or that family. I'm not sure who the note is written to or what exactly it means, other than the obvious.
My immediate reaction was to want to help the family, but it didn't seem anyone was home and I really had no other means to leave money or assist. But the note sparked a thought....
There are many more people in need, every day, than I realize.
I am often so caught up in introspection, wondering about my future, securing my personal comfort and well-being, checking the items off of my "to do" list - - and so I forget to look out for those around me who have needs. Financial, emotional, spiritual....whatever they might be.
I have something to give - and there are people who are in need. I hope I can make the connection sometime this week, in one way or another.
