I have been trying to keep my photo/blog in sync with my statuses this month. But what picture could I possibly post that would portray people going out of their way for others? There are certainly many people who have gone out of their way for me. I briefly considered making some sort of collage...but knew I would leave someone out...or didn't necessarily possess a picture of each one.....and there have been so many...too many to count!! I am blessed!!
I like to give to people....I find it to be essential and of the highest value. Accepting the help someone gives me when they go out of their way for me....is not always so easy. But, there are times when, given my situation, I am forced to ask for and accept help. I am so thankful for the angels that always say yes.....that always make a way to be there...to go out of their way to help me. Their help and their love is a true blessing!! We often get so busy with our own lives that we don't take the time for others...we get locked into our schedule and list of to-do's and don't go out of our way to be there for people. I know it is something that I try to make a priority.
I finally decided on this picture. It is my brother Doug.....being himself...... with Alyssa after he had traveled from the Schenectady area, picking up my mom on the way, to see Alyssa in one of her high school productions. It makes for a long day...but his support has always meant the world to her. Of course we would understand if he couldn't make it....but he does....he goes out of his way....and it means everything!
“You give but little when you give of your possessions.
It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.”
