YOU TOO CAN HELP !

It does not take a special person always, You too can help and here is how :



 Helping can be just about anything as long as it is done in sincerity. Even a simple smile, "hello," or compliment could lift someone's spirit!


• Remember every little bit of effort counts!

• Spend time to become a close friend to that person, so he/she can look forward to your visits.

• Helping out is a great way to make new friends, too. Once people know they can trust you, they're more likely to help you out in return.

• Even if you are in a bad mood, you will probably feel better after helping others.

• Even though at first it might be kind of awkward, keep trying!

• Don't always expect rewards or praise in return. What really matters is that you were able to make someone happy. Besides, rewards usually come when you least expect it.

• Keep in mind that they may not always need help. If someone says something like, "No thanks." or "I can handle it.", then just insisting may annoy them. You won't always be able to tell if they really do need your help, but it's best to back off if others are angry or in a hurry. However, if they refuse your help, you should ask one more time, and if they still refuse, then walk away.
You will surely have another chance.

Found these great points to live by ! thought I share

IF and when you think of helping  :


1. Try to offer first. When people need your help, they'll most likely ask you first, but if you have the chance, try to offer to help before they ask you. This will show that you were willing to help from the start. For example, if you see a friend struggling to carry groceries, offer to help. Or if you see them getting bullied, help stand up. Or if you see them getting pushed down or beaten, ask "Are you all right?" and help them up. Then try to cheer them up. Believe me, helping people will always make you feel better because it's the right thing to do.

Put yourself in another person's shoes. Being compassionate can give you a strong reason to help someone else. It can also show people that you really do care about someone. 3

Volunteer or donate. Being in charitable organizations is a great way to help the less fortunate, like donating food or money to the poor. 4

Listen. You obviously can't know what you need to do if you're not even paying attention. Plus, people aren't going to rely on you very much if you act like you don't even care what they're saying. 5

Think about what might happen if you don't. More people will feel more miserable if you just leave them when they need you, and you don't want to see people unhappy, do you? Don't stress yourself too much, but it's always nice to lend a hand. 6

Observe. Find out what that certain person might like. For example: s/he is always folding up paper. You can buy a origami set and teach him/her your tricks. Or he/she seems bored a lot. Try spending time with them to play a board game or play cards.

Alle these can be used with any age group with a little adjustment to fit.

Better to give than to receive !

Just a few quotes from the great book that reminds us that it is always better to give than to receive. Hope you feel that and extend a helping hand to the kids at foadac.

Isaiah 25:4

For you have been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat; for the breath of the ruthless is like a storm against a wall,

Acts 20:35-38

In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

Proverbs 22:9

Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor.

September is ovarian Cancer awareness month !

Be Kind , It soothes the soul

Today, make a point of saying something nice to everyone you speak to.

Just on my mind today !

There are an estimated 153,000,000 orphans worldwide. Some of these orphans have lost one parent, some both, and some are "virtual" orphans that have been turned out onto the streets by their families, but all are vulnerable and in need of help. Without assistance these orphans continue in the cycle of poverty, HIV/AIDS, trafficking, prostitution and slavery that haunts developing countries. By supporting FOADAC ,you can help break this cycle, put a child back in a family, and put him or her on the road to success

I read this last night and it stuck on my mind. This is real worldwide. Do not underestimate the powers you have to help a kid. It might take less effort than you think. So why not give it a short today !



Thanks
