RE: Real LIfe Pay It Forward, Ran Into Betty Again

Well you may have been able to keep from tearing up in the grocery store, but I'm unable to keep from tearing up here on this park bench. Dang that's the second time this morning! I dropped off a box of groceries at the church food pantry this morning, got to talking with the secretary and got all teary over one of her stories about a homeless woman they helped. There is so much need in the world and it's easy to get overwhelmed by the magnitude of it and stalled into doing nothing because we don't have the means to just "fix" it...when in reality we can all do those small gestures that may not even cost a dime such as loading somebody's groceries or lending a listening ear. Or pick up a couple extra 49 cent cans of pork and beans so somebody gets a meal...how hard is that. It all adds up. Blessings to you for being Betty's angel when she needed one. JEEZ I'm actually starting to cry now!!!

Sort:  

Well my Wife likes to say that a good cry is always healthy...I'm maybe to much of a "man" to agree with her so avoid it at all costs.

Glad my story could touch you today, sorry to make you cry on a park bench...someone might wonder about you....lol

Really it doesn't take much to help make someones day just a little better. It doesn't need to cost you anything and it doesn't always need to be done for the people you think need it most.
