BE AN ANGEL

It is that time of year again.  Those of you around the last few years know my repeating theme of "BE AN ANGEL."  I always encourage everyone to think outside of themselves and do something for others.  The first thing people respond with is "I'm busy," "I'm already broke," "I can't make a difference."  Let me tell you, all of those things don't matter in helping anyone.  One thing I realized a long time ago is that you can do very little things that are cheap or may not cost anything and don't take time and do make a difference to someone.  I make it a goal of mine to do a good deed a day.  This can be anything.  You would be surprised just in the response you get from people by opening the door for someone.  Last year I took a roll of quarters to Aldi's grocery store and passed them out to people so they didn't have to pay for a cart.  A quarter made their day.  My teenage girls came home the other day all excited because someone in the car ahead of them paid for their order. They said wow mom, I didn't think other people really did this.

Now especially is the time to think about what you can do for others.  Besides making someone else feel better, helping others makes you feel better too.

What do you do to help others?
