Naaaah.
Most people out there actually treat each other pretty well I think. One time when my son, we were in Marquette. In one park along Lake Superior people were jumping off the tall rocks and into the water. He was too and we were watching him. At one point he asked me, "If I got hurt in the jump, would you come in and save me?" I said, "Of course I would. But you know what, all of these other people here would too. If they saw you in trouble, they would save you too, even though they don't know you. That's how people are."
Sometimes there's that little extra help when you need it. Watch this video about a boy who passes on a little kindness to a soldier.
A small act of kindness that means a lot.
Have you ever been in the situation where a potential disaster is averted at the last minute. Someone is all of a sudden there to help. We all have them but they end up being not very memorable because the day turns out pretty normal, and not a disaster, We sometimes think, "What would I have done if they weren't there?"
But they were there.
And sometime were called to be that person that is there for someone. Have you ever gotten the inkling, the feeling, the nudge that you really should do something for someone? One time I remember getting this feeling that I needed to call this old friend. I hadn't spoken to him in a while. but I was busy and I kept putting it off. Finally in the afternoon I give him a call. He was moving. Things were not going well. He had to leave his apartment and there were a lot of issues with it. We talked for a while. I think that it helped. Now this was pre cell phones so if I would have waited he would have been gone and I would not have had any way to contact him. Sometimes we need to listen to those nudges.
God often uses us to be a blessing to others. We need to listen to the call and respond to the prompting. What is He calling you to do today?
