IF MORE WERE LIKE HER

I was just remembering about the day my granddaughter told me about this boy in her classroom.he would always come to school unkept.his hair messy and clothes were not very clean.for lunch he would have maybe an apple.one day she decided to share her lunch with him.she found out that his family did not have much and an apple was all he had to take for lunch.after that day she would make herself a bigger lunch so she had extra and could share with him.i found this to be so touching.that a young girl like her would see the need of another child and do something to help.
when we see a person on the street with tattered clothing and looking for a hand out,we are fast to judge that person.we call them bums or other names and we turn our nose up at them and walk away.why do we think we are better then that "bum".we are all Gods children .we don't know what circumstances brought that person to live on the streets.yes there are some people who are just simply lazy and want the free easy life,but thats not for us to judge.just simply help those in need of help.you may ask"well how do i know when someone is truely in need of my help".its simple,pray for God to open your eyes and simply look around.there are so many in need of our help right here in our own city.when you give to help others,it leaves a warm and loving feeling in your heart.this feeling is Gods smile upon your heart.when we give to help others,we are doing Gods work.so,come on people,lets get to work.
be more like my granddaughter and just be kind.
