Don't Be Too Busy To Do What's Right


--by Aurelia, posted Dec 10, 2010

Today I was sending out the last of my Christmas packages. As I was leaving, I saw this lady with two huge packages marked "fragile" piled high coming into the Post Office.

I was ready to go right past her and jump in my car.  I had so much to do and I was focused on getting those things done.  But then my brain/heart kicked in and said, "Aurelia...she needs help.  Why didn't you ask her if you could help her with the packages?" 

So, I turned back around and asked if I could help her carry a box and also open the door to the Post Office. She was delighted and told me how her Mom was busy baking cookies for special people and that's what was in the boxes.  That made me smile. 

Don't be too Busy to do what's right....

It is good to read the story Aurelia, keep helping people, and your reporting prompts me to narrate a small help I extended to one boy limping to cross a busy highway type road.
