Make time to help others...
even those you don't think need help...
My husband was the only one to respond to help a wealthy doctor we knew. Most people would look at the size of the man's bank account, his large home, his fancy sports car, and think he didn't need help. He asked Clint where he could get some free firewood. He said he wanted to sit by a fire with his wife.
Clint did not question why he needed it. He simply offered him some of ours and also told him of a free resource locally.
The doctor did not tell Clint, but we learned later...
he was dying.
I really liked the doctor. He was an OB who delivered a few of our babies and became a friend to Clint and I.
Clint's kindness allowed our friend to have one of the last moments of joy in his life. It left his wife with another happy memory. I am so thankful for that.
FYI, that bank account...it was heavily depleted by the bills in the fight to save his life.
I am thankful my husband is the kind of man who, if allowed, will reach out and help others at the Holy Spirit's leading.
Don't judge others by what you see, or hear, or think you know. Only God knows the full story and what's going on in their heart. Just show love to them. That's God's way.
Philippians 2:3-5
Don’t do anything for selfish purposes,
but with humility think of others as better than yourselves.
Instead of each person watching out for their own good,
watch out for what is better for others.
Adopt the attitude that was in Christ Jesus:
