We need to go back to our ROOTS begin doing a honest days work for that honest day's pay. Stop expecting handouts on every turn. Do your share and more. Then you will so find all the cards falling into the correct places and when others begin to do the same you will so find things getting easier.
Have you ever watched a group of people rowing a boat? What if two or three of them decided to stop rowing and just sat there and let the others do all the work? How long would it take for those that continued to row to become tired, worn out and beaten down?
This is the same way it is in life. Do you do you fair share? Do you help others carry their load?
Here's just a couple that helped others carry their loads.... What about the guy that helped Jesus carry his cross? What about the footprints in the sand when Jesus is carrying us?
Why is it that people only come together during tragic situations? Do you think that's the only time you should help your fellow man? We should be helper's to ever one, every time, every day. Many times people only show up to see some one after they've gone on to be with the Lord. Well I'm here to tell you that's a little too late. Now's the time to spend with those who need you not just during tragic times.
Help the lady at the grocery store who's having trouble in the rain get her umbrella open. Help the person in front of you at the check out line who doesn't have those extra few pennies and they are digging in the bottom of their purse for them. Help that elderly man with his shopping buggy because someone took his handicap space that really didn't need it.
How hard is it to do what it right because we know in our hearts it's the right things to do? If you pay it forward you will get your reward back ten fold, guaranteed. Even if it's just to make you feel better about yourself. But let me be clear about one thing, bragging about the event will not help win the reward. You should do these things without anyone knowing. God is the only one who will be watching and He will do the rewarding.
Do good works for others that they may see and give thanks to your Father which is in heaven. For this is the right thing for us to do in his name.
Matthew 5:16
Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
