Preventing life is not the most effective strategy. Living your life on hold to maintain the status quo is not living life. But if you live to the fullest, you know how to try to exploit every opportunity to do so -... there are many hidden treasures and unexpected results that otherwise would not flow. Elaine is a busy woman who rushes out to get her children to school in the morning and says goodbye to her husband quickly, and then runs to the market..
She saw a tent outside near the store where there was a homeless woman with her dog. The woman's head was tilted slightly, clearly ashamed of her homeless situation. She stayed close to the dog as he curled up to protect against the cold and for comfort. Apparently, she only had the clothes on her back, and her property was close in a basket. There were people entering and leaving the store, and most of them did not even see the woman. She was invisible in the center of the action.
Elaine paused for a moment and thought, had she not noticed this woman? How long had she been here? She was not sure what to do, and suddenly felt uncomfortable. If she gave money to the homeless woman, would she use it on food or waste it on alcohol? And it would be dangerous? Instead of going directly to the merchant, Elaine took a winding road. Elaine thought there was no reason to deal with a homeless woman. While Elaine was shopping, she felt really bad. When she left the store, she thought: she was being ridiculous, and the woman clearly needed help. Then she returned to the store and grabbed a sandwich for the woman. When Elaine left the shop, she went straight to her, and fortunately she was still there. She handed her a sandwich, and the dog came to her and she gave him some food as well.
Have you ever thought about doing something for someone who has changed their mind and said: "who cares" and "I quit"? One is tempted to continue playing and living in their own comfort zone and not see and experience the good that they can do. And how easy is it to go through your day, run errands, pick up the children and return home and not make a difference? It had been easy for Elaine to adapt to supporting the needs of her family. She was always on the move. But now she realized that perhaps she should slow down a bit and notice the surrounding environment.
With an effort, the homeless woman stood up and gratefully accepted the gift. Elaine was impressed with the way the homeless woman expressed words of thanks. She was so affected by this level of recognition as her eyes filled with tears. Her profound words of grace completely melted her heart. Elaine asked the woman if there was anything she could do for her. She stressed the need to do more. Elaine handed her a $ 20 bill and insisted on it being taken.
