BE A HELPING HAND
Verse : Phillipians 2:4 - "Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others"
I started this initiative to remind me to take the focus off myself because most of the time, life keeps us so busy we do not really consider other people or what they may be going through or how we can help. The society we live in trains us to be self absorbed. We often live in our own cocoon and all we do is focus on ourselves and what it is we need.
I know life is hard enough already and without realising it, we become selfish in our daily dealings not necessarily because we want to be that way, it just happens. I have come to realise that finding the right balance is key. Give the little help you can to people, be it to friends, family or someone random. How you decide to help someone does not matter just do it by following the steps below every week:
- Choose/seek to help 2/3 people per week.
- Ask how you can be of service (as your heart leads).
- Go out of your way to help them (use your time wisely)
- Pass on the idea behind the initiative and tell them to also help 2/3 weekly as well.
- Share pictures or stories with me.
The help you choose to give is up to you but could be as simple as:
- Being a listening ear for someone.
- Recommending a persons for a job/skill etc.
- Encouraging a person.
- Pay for something they need.
- Surprise a friend/stranger in need.
- Just make sure to "HELP" in any little way possible.
Just keep it simple and make a difference in someones life today. I will be posting videos from time to time to encourage us and show how the little help we give to others may go a long way. I will also leave you with this song" Things we do" by Yolanda Adams:
Remember this is totally up to you and in your hands. You never know, the help you give today maybe an open door for you/family in future.
Till then
Live, laugh and love
Just B
