Helping others
A few days ago I was out on my daily walk with Maci, my 4 1/2 year old mini red nose pit bull. The day before I had decided to add an extra few blocks to our walk, so we don’t usually go this way. The block we were walking down was towards a main road and had a mailbox on the corner. As we approached the corner, an elderly woman was getting out of, maybe her daughter’s car, to go mail some Christmas cards. You could tell it was not very easy for her, so I told Maci to sit next to me so we could wait for her to finish.
Now I could have rushed past to get around the corner before she even got out of the car, but something in me said to wait. As we waited, her daughter talked to me about how cute and good Maci was, which made Maci happy, she loves people that give her attention. As we are talking I look up and notice the elderly woman is struggling at the mail box, because she is used to old fashioned mailboxes, where you pull the top open and drop in your mail. This one had a thin slot that was like on top but underneath, hope you have seen a newer one like this before, trying my best to explain it. Anyway, I walked over and showed her where to put the cards, she was very thankful but apologetic that she could not see good. I told her it was not problem, she said high to Maci and then went back to the car.
As I walked away I felt peace, even though a small act of kindness, it just felt good.
“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.”
Galatians 6:2 NKJV
That’s why it felt good because the Bible (God) tells us to bear one another’s burdens.
So if you ever sit and think why God? Why do I have to help others, that is why, you are fulfilling the law of Christ.
The reason this moment touched me so much that I wanted to write about it is because I am always in a rush, squeezing in an hour and half each day to walk is sometimes not so easy for me with work, my family and my pets. I usually rush past people so I don’t have to stop, cause Maci will stop and say high to everyone.
I encourage you today, in the face paced world we live in, where sometimes you are so caught up in your life and what your doing, if you are in a situation where you can help someone, as simple as holding a door open or mailing a letter, DO IT.
Disclaimer: I encourage everyone to do their own studying of the verses, you may come to a different understanding and that’s ok. I am up for any feedback or discussion. Comment below.
