A friend of mine and I were talking today and if she reads this she will know exactly who she is, but I have to say that in all honesty she is one of the very very very very few people that I have ever met that is like me in the way that we go above and beyond to help someone or someone's out. She is always doing nice things for not just my kids and I, but so many people. I sometimes wonder how she keeps going because she gives so much. Now her dear husband is not of the same mindset. She and I are alike because I will help people out go above and beyond and the thing is neither she nor I are good at receiving when someone wants to do something for us. I know for me and I am guessing for her as well (if I am wrong she will tell me.. LOL) that we do things for people we see in need or because they are special to us or because well just because and we do these things without expecting anything in return.
She babysat for a friend the other day so she did not have to miss work. She did dishes for her, took care of the kids and whatever else she could do to help this friend out. Now I am sure she had 3million other things she could have been doing, but yet she chose to go and help a friend in need. I know that is what Jesus would have wanted her to do. I cannot tell you how many times I have seen her do these kinds of things for people, heck last year she let my kids and I show up on her doorstep late late one night cause we had no place to go. She has been a blessing to me more than she will ever know I am sure. It blesses my heart to know that she is like she is because I have been told that I have to big of a heart.. Really is that possible? I know that people say that because they think that since I/she help people out when we could use that $20 bucks for something for our family, or we had 3million things to do, but we choose to help out a friend by babysitting to help them out, taking care of a sickie, making a meal or ordering a pizza for someone we do it because we want to and we have been know to do things for people who tend to take advantage or be unappreciative which I know is why some people say I have too big of a heart.
Think about this.. Have you ever felt like you were supposed to help someone, do something nice for them or something?? If you did it because you knew it was the right thing and that God would want you to do it without expecting anything in return, I am willing to bet that you have been blessed beyond in some form or another and when we don't do it we get a knot in our stomach's and think about it and say darn I should have done...... whatever it is.. I have always heard you never know when you are entertaining angels and also that You may be the only Jesus some ever see.. God is so loving and amazing and He wants us to bless others like He blesses us.... Think about that the next time you see someone in need, feel that tug at your heart follow His calling and then enjoy the blessings...
Till Next Time..... God Bless
