The greatest gift


Helping each other is one of the delights of living.  It feels so good there is an urge to do it even when it isn’t necessary or actually hurtful, but there are times when it is necessary.

There are times when the world lays so heavily on someone that only a hug or an ear can lighten the load.  Such simple gestures may seem humble compared to feeding the poor or building great cathedrals, but they rank far above these types of things.

What could be greater than being there to hold someone or listen to them? 

Asking them to do that for you.
