Help! Bless! Love!
Look for the good in others. Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

"In Other Words," a publication of the Wycliffe Bible Translators, recently told a story about Sadie Sieker, who served for many years as a house-parent for missionaries' children in the Philippines.
Sadie loved books. Though she gladly loaned out some, others she treasured in a footlocker under her bed.
Once, in the quiet of the night, Sadie heard a faint gnawing sound. After searching all around her room, she discovered that the noise was coming from her footlocker. When she opened it, she found nothing but an enormous pile of dust. All the books she had kept to herself had been lost to termites.

It is very important for us to be givers and helping toward others because you'll never know what a great impact you might have on someone because of your kindness. You never know what someone may be going through so always be quick to say something positive or lend a helping hand. The Lord will bless and reward you just the same as you bless and help others.
What we give away, we keep. What we hoard, we lose.
Matthew 6:19 – "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.” instead...
"Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." – Luke 6:38.
Lets try our best to be as Jesus is; to help, bless, love and be merciful to everyone we come into contact with for the same mercy we show; will it be shown to us by our Heavenly Father.
Stay Blessed!
