Learning: Being Helpful

What does it really mean to be helpful?

Today, I helped some beautiful dogs not feel lonely, and get a chance to play outside while they wait to be adopted into loving families.

What about being helpful towards people?

I honestly believe there are countless ways to be helpful towards others. Some people need help financially, and being helpful to them can mean giving food, shelter or money. It could also mean spending time to look over their finances with them, and helping to plan a budget. It could mean training them (in your area of expertise) to help in their job search.

Others need help spiritually, emotionally, in the area of self discipline, relationally -- the list goes on. As do the ways to help.

Sometimes, even something as 'small' as sitting with someone can be helping.

How have you been helpful today?
