Answer 1

I have worked with the homeless and the needy since the 80's. This is a calling from God for me to do this. And I can tell you I truly know the meaning of the Biblical verse, "It is more Blessed to give than to receive." I have a soft spot for the elderly & children & a struggling Mom that needs a little help to get her & the children over the hump until payday. The elderly & the children are precious.
You are correct, just holding the door opens allows those who thinks no one cares will ignite a spark & a twinkle in the eyes.

If we were all like Mother Teresa, what a wonderful world we could live in...She were such an inspiration!..

I always take a cab home from work because I work until 10pm or later. Usually there are lots of available cabs on Friday night but last night there wasn't a cab to be found. So I was standing out there at the cab stand in the cold, very very tired, and these young women came out of the hotel and started waving down cabs right in front of me. One finally stopped for them and instead of blithely getting in, they turned to me and said "you were here first, do you want a cab?" Luckily, another available cab was cruising by so I thanked them and grabbed the other cab (so we all got cabs). I think this is the first time any young person has bothered to try to be fair when vacant cabs are that scarce--usually they just pretend you aren't there.

I bought my elderly neighbor a pair of shoes today. While she was at my house she peed blood, so I anointed her head with oil and prayed for her. Not to mention when my husbands X called my cellphone first thing this morning, I was very polite to her, even though she doesn't even answer the phone to let his kids talk to him when he calls them.
