One evening I was going back from a supermarket. As I have approached my car, I noticed that some person came and stood beside me. He was the one that could be considered as a bum. It seemed that he had no car, no home and no job. I expected that he will ask me for money, but he did not do that, he only said: „Your car is very nice“.
After several moments of silence I have replied: „Thanks“, and then the inner voice told me: „Ask him if he needs help“. After a short hesitation I have asked him, if he needs any help. His respond was astonishing, I will never forget those simple three words that I heard from him: „Don‘t we all?”
It was a true discovery to me. I needed help. Although I had money and a place to sleep, but I recognized that I needed help too. Then I have opened my wallet and gave him enough money to get a meal and some shelter for a day.
Suddenly I understood that no matter how much money, achievements, luxury things do we have, we all need help. And on the other hand, no matter how poor you are, how many material problems you have, you still might offer your help to others, you still might be giving. Even it‘s just a nice word, you can give that and it can be priceless to other person.
Maybe that man was just a homeless stranger, but to me he was more than that. Maybe he was sent by the Highest Loving Power personally to me, to open my eyes, to show me that there is one thing, among all other values and achievements, which is very important and irreplaceable for each and every person. Actually, it is a true gift and it is called Giving.
Liebe Christine! Wir
hatten einen sonnigen und schon recht warmen Donnerstag. Unsere Jüngste mit
Tochter und Hündin kamen am Nachmittag,
um ein bisschen zu klönen.
Es soll heiß werden, die nächsten Tage. Hoffentlich steigt die Temperatur nicht
über 30 Grad. Dir wünsche ich einen angenehmen Freitag und guten Start ins
Wochenende. Liebe Knuddelgrüsse von Deiner Liliane.
Liebe Christine! Auch wir
hatten einen schönen, sonnigen Dienstag. War am Nachmittag zum Frisör, zum
Haareschneiden. So komme ich wieder besser zurecht mit Föhnen. Man hat uns
prophezeit, dass es nun jeden Tag etwas wärmer werde. In dem Sinne wünsche ich
dir einen sonnigen Donnerstag mit viel Spaß bei all deinen Tätigkeiten. Liebe
Knuddelgrüsse von Deiner Liliane.
