We Do Not Always Come Through – 'When Ever' We Get The Chance

I am glad I had the chance!

Yesterday while helping a friend in our local hospital, I noted a lone helpless elderly thin women lying sideways on her sick bed against the cold hallway wall of the x-ray department. I could hear her shivered labored gasps of being so cold laying there - that I just stopped and felt I had to cover her up with a warm blanket!

Looks like her medical attendant main concern was just to deliver her to the x-ray department without any concern to make sure this elderly women patient was comfortable.

Next, I strolled over to her and found a nice warm blanket at the end of her bed and tucked it around her and lightly patted her on the back. Her kind blues eyes looked up at me and she weakly smiled and said “I thank you so much”.

We Do Not Always Come Through – 'When Ever' We Get The Chance

The poor, the persecuted, the meek, the helpless, and the hungry need special attention.

Unfortunately, we do not always come through for those in need.

A compassionate person may support and defend victimized and lonely people.

The first will be last, and the last will be first by bringing about a tender heart toward those who suffer in pain and poverty.

We do not always come through because sometime we forget that people are only human and we must oversee are own needs at times to 'take the time' to help someone in need 'when ever' we get the chance.

I am glad I got the chance!!
