Be Ready
Rod,
“You are not going to believe this but I was going over to our Church
to put something away and a lady got out of her car, a parishioner, who was
crying hysterically because she had just lost her job. I gave her your
example of the Shovel or Backhoe, and she could not have been more at ease when
I left her. I did not solve her problem, but at least I got a chance to
console her in some fashion.”
I received the email above a
couple of hours ago from a friend’s mom that read my book and reading my
blog. I wrote Shovel or Backhoe two days
ago. It was one of those I wrote with no
specific event or person in mind. It’s
just what came to mind on a Tuesday.
There are times I know exactly who or what inspires me to write and other
times I just write what comes to my heart and head.
Were the words I wrote destined
to be used today for someone in need, who knows? Did they help someone in some way, you
betcha. The words I wrote were
available to someone when they ran across a person in need. The example above just further proves my
point that you never know when something you say or do can impact another. That’s how it is supposed to work boys and
girls. By helping each other, we make
our little slice of the world a little better. Be ready to make a difference
and you will.
