Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Be The Dew


--by aurelia, posted Apr 10, 2008

 

Someone was retelling a memory of her childhood on an Iowa Farm. She had fond memories of the dew of summer mornings. The coolness of the new dawn and the grass would be deliciously wet on her small bare feet. Her father once told her how his corn crop could be saved in a dry season if there was enough heavy dew each day. That moisture on the leaves could be absorbed by the plant and would help it to survive.

Isn't that like our own lives? Sometimes we are in a tough spot and all we have is a little DEW. Yet this bit of spiritual moisture or help from God is enough to see us through until times get better. Our simple kind act towards friends and strangers is that same dew for others. It's not the amount of money or how much time spent on others, they don't need a great rainfall...its the fact that we spent time, and shared ourselves with them....it's our dew to them.
