There are many attributes a person has who is given the call to help others in need
Within their heart, there is a different mind set
A different way of viewing people, their financial status, their backgrounds, abilities and disabilities
It is the core of this heart that drives their hands to do good works
This heart sees people just as they are, as fellow human beings deserving a second chance
And so it directs those hands to treat them with kindness, dignity and respect
It knows that money is just material and may come and go in the skip of that heartbeat
And so it directs these hands to start helping at the very foundation of a person’s basic needs and begins to build them up from there
When it comes to a person’s background and past, it is well versed in the concept of how life’s seasons can cause people to fall into times of challenge
Decisions can be made be it right, wrong or indifferent – often all in the name to survive the storm of life .Others may agree or disagree with these choices but in the end
The heart of these helping hands still chooses to offer comfort and a moment of safe space to those affected- simply because it feels it is the right thing to do despite popular opinion
The heart understands that all people are not made the same and this is ok
So it accepts people exactly how they are, embraces their differences, applauds even the tiniest of glow of good moral character and lifts them up for what they can do instead of simply noting their shortcomings
The heart of the helping hands feeds its own soul through the kind deeds done for others
This is the only payment it receives and often it leaves the owner of these hands feeling like they have received more from others than they feel they have even given
There are many people who possess these helping hands, you will hear about them showing up around the world to aid those in need stricken by disaster
For those of you who have not yet awakened the helping hands you may have
The advice I offer is quite clear: look deep inside the heart of your helping hands and ask yourself these questions ….
When was the last time I did something unselfish for others? What do I have to offer? When and how will I begin to make someone else’s day just a little brighter?
It is the morals hidden like a rare jewel found within the depths of the heart of the helping hands that will lead the way –
It is my wish that more people in the world will choose to activate the heart of their helping hands, join others in helping those in need, perhaps they will, someday.
