If I Can Help Somebody !

Published by garryblanson at 9:47 pm under Uncategorized

                   I can remember hearing these

 words,while listening to Martin L. King Jr.

 In his speech he said,” if I can help somebody,

 then my living will not be in vain. Now as I get

closer to the four and three(age 43), I find myself

thinking these same words,” if I can help

somebody “,then my living will not be in vain.

          You see,I found out that it’s not

even about me.It’s about lifting up the name

 of Jesus and helping somebody. If you can do

these two things,then your living won’t be in

 vain.I know it sounds so easy,but we got to

 remember that the world is teaching us to only

 look out for self. Also,as you will find out;

 everybody doesn’t seem to even want any help.

       My Dad has a saying that has grown on me.

   He says,”the only thing worst than being

   ignorant,is being ignorant and not knowing it!”

  [ When you think about it,many times we

  are guilty of being ignorant and not even

  knowing it.] This is why it’s so important for

  us to help somebody.

            When we help somebody,we give them

  hope.Since they now have hope, they can give

  hope to somebody. A wise person once said;

  ” you can have everything you want,if you will

   just help enough people to get what  they want.”

    Well said! I guess I am feeling like that now, “if I can help somebody, then my living will not be in vain”…adopting that quote!

    Well said, Gary. Life is about giving. And, by giving we receive– not the other way around. What we get, through the process of giving and stewardship– is the greatest reward of all.

    Nice post Gary. I think your right about the world teaching us to lookout only for ones self. I think it is something we all are guilty of from time to time and we all need a good post like yours to remind us to take a look in the mirror. I know that I feel the best when the giving and the taking in my life are about equal. Help yourself by helping someone. That wise person had it right.
