An Extra Few Minutes To Shovel Up Some Good Karma

--by lmil1954, posted Nov 14, 2009

Yep, it's that time of year again! Last night it snowed. This morning my driveway was covered in a bright white blanket. The snowfall wasn't too heavy and I was able to sweep it away in a few minutes.

My husband and I have an elderly neighbor. He seems to be away this year, I don't know if he's in a nursing home or perhaps he's staying at a relative's home. I don't know - but I don't mind because he is a GRINCH! My husband and I don't like him very much, but for the past three or four years since I've been living here, I have always made it a point to shovel or sweep his driveway whenever I do mine. I encourage my husband to do the same.

We believe that because our neighbor is elderly, we should shovel his snow away! It just takes an extra few minutes. Tomorrow the snowfall is supposed to be heavier, and of course I will shovel my neighbor's driveway.

This year, let's all do this... it's the kind thing to do.

Love your meighbour as yourself and sweep away your negative image (if you have any) have of him!

It is easy to be kind to someoen who is kind to you.

But then,are we perfect?

You help because of who you are and not because of any other reason.

People like you are storing your treasures in heaven!
