Difficult times give us the opportunity to help one another. Whether it is the church opening up as a Red Cross shelter or you helping a neighbor get their car out of the snow bank, adversity invites us to come together.
One of the most meaningful things that we can do is to set aside our agenda of the moment and help someone else. Besides the clear benefit of helping them, it also provides us with some very positive results.
1. we get our minds off of ourselves, at least for a moment.
2. we feel good. if you allow yourself, it feels good to help another
3. you enjoy the sense that you are doing the right thing. For this we were created.
4. it can put a halt to depression.
5. it provides great stories and great memories.
6. when you invest in others, you make new friends.
I am not saying that we should help others so that we personally benefit, but there does appear to be some benefit. Let's see, where did I put my snow shovel?
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
