Helping Out Someone In Need

Helping Out Someone In Need

When I wrote my series on love, it made me ask a question that we all need to ask. Would you help out a person in need? In this all about me society, people are too busy, if it's not about them, they can't be bothered.

But like I've been talking about for the last few months, is that we need to come together as a nation and as a people. We need to step up, above and beyond what we normally would do. So that we may start a pass it on mentality throughout the world. This is what love thy neighbor is all about.

We need to post more stuff about people doing good, and people doing random acts of kindness. We need to see people actually helping their neighbors out instead of all the negative crap we see all the time on social media.

I always say at the end of every blog, be the change you want to see...I don't just give that lip action, I actually do things to back it up. 

I volunteer at church, when there is a fundraiser I am there, both with my money and with my time. If I hear about a person in need, I will buy them groceries.

I will call them and pick them up, take them shopping, and pick up medicine for them. I round up friends to help other friends in need. I even still help my ex mother in law out by cleaning her house and doing her laundry when she needs it. I pay her phone bill. I call her once a week and go see her. So no, I don't just speak it, I live it.

I always write that I am a friend to the end, that I am your ride or die girl. You can depend on me even if you're calling me at 3 am, because I will be there for you. This works both ways as I know that I am blessed to have an amazing group of friends who would and have done the same for me. When I was getting divorced, my church family and friends all showed up to pack and move me to my new home. I remember friends that came by to help me out and my dear childhood friend even took off of work for a week and flew in to help me with all I needed done. Recently my soul sister flew across the county to help me do some HOA requested projects on my home.

All of these acts of kindness from friends and family have brought me to tears. But this is the way it should be.

My neighbor, my guardian angel who right from the beginning helped me more than I could tell you, then gave me money for my air conditioning after my best friend ran off with the money I lent her.

When he was moving, I was the first one over there to help him pack, move and unpack. That is what you do, that is what having a good heart is all about, that is what you do to give back to people you care about.

My next door neighbor and I cook and bring each other food all the time. We help each other out. Why? Because this is what you do.

I had friends and even my ex boyfriend fly down to fix my roof, and to do all kinds of things when I bought my new home and I would do anything for them in return. 

The Prince still calls me during hurricane season to see if I need help boarding up my home. These are the kind of people the world needs more of.

That is who I am, and no, I am not blowing smoke up my own ass. I am telling you this because it is something we needn't think about, it should be a natural knee jerk reaction, someone in need… bam! We are there. This is what it is like to be a decent human being. Which so many people nowadays have clearly forgotten.

I remember my kids asking me why I give or talk to homeless people...my response? Because there before the grace of God goes I and that is the truth.

It could have been me, it could have been you, but God... it's not.

Everyone on this earth deserves compassion and kindness, it costs nothing to be nice, so then why do so many people choose not to be? Why do you treat the homeless like they are invisible, hell forget the homeless, some people treat others not in their "Class" like they are invisible.

It's not just about racism in this country, it's also about "Classism" 

Do we not all bleed the same color? Are we not all going to rot in the same size grave one day? 

Are we not all the same despite all of our differences? It doesn't matter if you're Black, White, Muslim, Buddhist, if you're gay or straight or transgender, we are all the same, so why can't we just be kinder to one another?

Why can't you take that minute out of your day to help, to say a kind word, to do something good? It is really just all about you?

I know it feels that way sometimes.

We need to realize that we can change the world. If we can stand together and say we had enough! We are only going to watch TV that means something, we are only going to post positive things, we are going to respond in kindness even if that person is an asshole. We are going to take the time to help our neighbors out, do something good for our neighborhood, change the world one good deed at a time.

So today my friends, if you want change, then be the change, it only takes one person to start it, believe that. So be that one person, start today.

"Be the change you want to see"
