I have expressed in the past, more often lately. When I leave this world, Will anyone know I was here, Of course my children will and my grandchildren. But, will I have made a dent in someones lives? Have I been a true friend? Did I do enough for people? This has been a concern of mine.
Several months ago, I told Retha, I know Brian has to take Rachelle to the drs often, If you need me, feel free to call.
Well she called and I get to help her out! She felt bad asking but I wish people would just realize they are doing more for me than I am for them. The end of August Nancy asked me to come spend the day with her while she recovered from some medical test. I did stay and she slept. It was a nice thing for me to be able to help.
Now Nancy needs another test and I am going today to help out. I feel as if I am finally able to repay all the good things that have been done for me in my life. I am sure each of you have heard, Pass it along! Sometime that is all we can do, Pass a generoisty along.
When My Mom was alive, as you know I was not able to be with her as much as I possibly should have. So if anything needed replaced, I was always called. I never gave it another thought, My mom needed something, I could provide. I just always felt as if I had could never do enough.
So finally God is letting me help my friends, and family.
I am not sure why I feel this way, I was born to a giving woman, She gave so much, she fed our aunts and uncles on a regular basis, she always made sure her Mom and Dad were taken care of, even to the extent of building them a house on her property. She donated to the church. I have a photo of a huge pile of canned applesauce, taken at church, where my Mom was donating for the orphans. She could always find it in her budget to help someone else. Even with 8 children to raise, she fed more people than you can imagine.
So that may be why I feel this urgent need to help.
