Helping Others

Helping Others.....

In life we are put in other peoples way for a reason... It is a great honor to be able to help others... We are always helping others; either by listening, acting, or just plain being there for them. I know that sometimes we sit there and wonder, "why did this person come into my life"?? Maybe, they were sent to help us in some sort of way..

I have the honor to help out a family member who is close and very dear to me.. They are in need of some good old fashion "unconditional love"...

After careful consideration and lots of mulling it over, my kids and I have decided to pay it forward. We have always helped others in their time of need, so why not now!! Especially with family... We all know that sometimes we need that little something to make us feel better.. We need to feel like we are needed... So as a family, we have decided to share our Jade (our 6 month beagle) with our family member.. Who better to share Jade with!!! She has soooo much love to give and I know that she will take care of them... 

Yes it's sad because Jade is very much loved at our home... Something inside me tells me that this is the right decision.. Paying it forward is super important.. Like I told the kids, "it's not sharing our dog with just anyone" our family member will love her and take care of her as much as we do.. Not to mention that she stays withing the family and she's helping someone thru a tough time. It's hard to accept sometimes, but we need to help others.. Even though we are sad, we are bringing light into others lives... 


Challenge:  Pay it forward.. Do something for someone.. No matter how big or small.. Bring a ray of sunshine to that person.. It will all come back to you bigger and better...
