Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Kindness magnified


--by splain, posted Nov 30, 2015
It looks like my path is taking me more to being involved with a place call "My Place" It is where men and women can go to get a shower, food, chats, items, etc. I have made my involvement a little different this time.

We talk about fear stopping us but I have seen this fear in organisations being unable to ask in the right way for help. So I have taken it upon myself with their knowledge to ring big shops and ask how to go about getting donations, forms they have to fill in and who they write letters to. I then inform them who to contact and they have to take the responsibility of Doing.

I feel free then to get friends and relatives backing me with money and donations of other kinds. We have a big freezer we have used twice and I know they need one so I thought, just give it to them if they want it. They need it more than I will ever need it. I feel happy with the amount of interaction I am doing.

The old me would want to take over , not now. Just want to help. I have a developed a really nice way for me to help and be calm about it. It is because of all of you

You can respond to appeals for more involvement in your own time, if this is the right path. I would say that solitude/prayer are good ways of finding the answers.

We have wonderful homeless shelters that help others in so many ways that are down on luck. Keep up the wonderful development of your soul!
