Listening....

I have been trying to be more focused on service.  I had a moment that came up that I felt I needed to respond. 

So one of the mom's in my old mom's group started selling clothes.  Leggings and such.  She posts the new ones she is selling and then people state if they want to buy them.  I was scrolling through her page and all the comments that others had written.  "those are so cute" " I would love them in my size."  blah blah

One of the comments the girl states she loved them.  Long story short she wanted them but her husband had just lost his job and her mother had died all with in a week.  I immediately felt as though she needed those leggings.  I text the girl I knew and told her I would pay for the leggings and she should send them to this girl. 

This other person wasn't looking for a hand out.  I have never met her before.  But I knew she needed something to feel as though somebody cared.  In that moment she needed those leggings.  Sounds dumb.  But I know I did the right thing. 

She posted on facebook how much she appreciated the gift it made me cry.

This is only one of many things that has happened over the past few weeks where I have felt the need to step in and do something.  I am now a bone marrow donor.   There is another organization that I thought about voulenteering for but always talked myself out of it.  I feel,now is the time to do what I should have done months ago
