A newspaper article tat i would like to share wif everyone :
How many times have u found urself wishing u could give more? More time to friends & family, more money to charity, more support to those who need it..
Joan had hoped to do so many things to help others. She went shopping for less mobile neighbours, went with them to hospital appts or even popped in for a chat. Sometimes she felt guilty at how much she enjoyed the friendship & company she received from these people while only doing little things in return.
But, one day, the church minister produced 2 clear plastic bags. One had $1 coins in it - this represented one big act of kindess. The other bag contained $1 made up of smaller coins, each of which symbolised a small act of kindness.
Although there was the same amount of money in each bag, he pointed out how much more the 'small kindnesses' weighed.
Suddenly, Joan realised tat her approach to life was like tat bag of coins. Although the things she did for her neighbouts were small, together they added up to something weighty and of real value.
And you, my fren? How does your bag look like?
