My First 'Help Others' Day

--by pariketd, posted Apr 8, 2011

I joined HelpOthers last night and, since then, have been trying to figure out how I could make someone smile today.

My opportunity came just before lunch when I left the office to pick up a pack of my favourite biscuits. On my way back into the building I saw the new security guard standing in a corner of the foyer.

Because he is new to the job he is still unsure of himself and not sure how to behave around the people who work there. That's when the idea came to me!

I walked over, introduced myself and offered him some of the biscuits from the packet. A smile replaced the nervousness on his face. He picked one with real care and appreciation. It was a sight to see!

So, now I know. That's how easy it is to help others. And I was left feeling blessed in return!
