You Ought To Give Them A Hand...
In today’s Gospel we hear about the Good Samaritan. 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.

It was a very hot summer day when Herman was walking home from a cool dip in the ocean when he noticed a man perspiring profusely as he was trying with the help of his two young sons to push his broken-down car up an incline.
Herman looked at the struggling trio and said to himself, "Here is an opportunity for service. You ought to give them a hand."
But an opposing voice within chimed in, "No, It's none of your business. You'll get yourself all hot and dirty. Let them take care of their own responsibility."
Eventually he yielded to the better impulse, put his shoulder to the task and all working together pushed the car over the incline and on its way.
Before they took off, the father, putting his hand out to Herman, said, "I'm very glad that you came along. You had just enough strength, added to ours, to make the thing go."
Herman noted, "Years have passed since that hot day, but I can still hear that man saying, 'You had just enough strength, added to ours, to make the thing go.'"

There are numerous people around us who are barely making it over their private hill of despair when, with a helping hand, they could make it.
We are to do good works and do them unto the Lord. Jesus did miracles when He was on earth to both heal the sick and also that the skeptic might believe that He is the Son of God. And so with us, we are to let our light shine before all people that they may know in whom we believe and trust, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Psalm 37:3, "Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shall you dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.”
"Dear God, please use me to be a helping hand to a friend in need who just can't make it alone, in Jesus' name I pray. Amen!"
Blessed Day!
