Three people... three examples... helping family, helping strangers, helping a family on the other side of the world... doing "little things."

Not bad!

Pre E I had some really big dreams... I guess I still do, but they've changed. But the small things have helped keep me dreaming. When I see something I can do I'm more eager to jump in. An elderly couple was load feed into the back of their truck. He had one end and she had the other. Both looked frail. When I asked if I could help, she said he wasn't supposed to be lifting because he had had surgery. Tickled them ... actually surprised them that I helped... but I couldn't watch and let them do it. Only 4 50lb bags, but it wore me completely out! But it was worth it!

My mother had major surgery yesterday, and will be out of commission for quite awhile. She will eventually be far better off than before her surgery (thank God). Today I planted 27 periwinkles in a bed, and watered all of her potted plants and beds. When I told her about doing that when I visited with her at the hospital, her face just lit up. It's true what they say..."It's the little things that mean alot!"

I still have my ratted out Live Aid T shirt from before I was hit with E. I wore it, and didn't do much else.
After being hit with E, I thought I can't even take care of myself. One day I picked up the telephone and talked to someone at Christian Children's Fund and began writing to a family in Shri Lanka because of a young girl who shared similar interests. For four years now, I have been involved in the smallest way with their struggle for clean water, and their day to day family events. This smallest way is bigger than no way. (And I still can't even take care of myself. )
