So hard to understand how you can help someone, trust them, open your home to them and then they steal from you.
I HELPED THIS YOUNG BOY ONLY FOR HIM TO STEAL FROM OUR FAMILY. BOY I FEEL SO USED AND STUPID TO PLACE TRUST IN HELPING.
This last few days I had to stop and Pay It Forward in helping others. As much as I have to do in preparing for our adoption with paperwork etc I felt the need to apply myself in helping someone. I chose people I know and don't know daily. I find something I can do or something special to make their lives a little happier or easier.
You ask how?
On your daily travels look around you. There are people we do not know that may be going through a hard time and by looking at them we may not know it. You can do things as simple as helping them with opening a door or just with a smile.
The other day I met a young boy. He had called about some ferrets I had for adoption. In hopes I would sale them to apply the funds to our adoption account. Since I have not yet raised a nickle for it, I needed everything I could to make our adoption happen. He had ask me if I could wait till the first for payment and if I would hold these ferrets. First I ask as you sure you would have the funds and commit should I agree would you follow through with your part. Our conversation soon lead to the reason why he wanted a ferret. It was his 20th birthday and he wanted a ferret. He had ferrets in the pass years while in fostercare. Now on his own, and I found he was disable, I sat and listen to his story. Now this boy lived several hours away from our home, he had no family a few friends and was celebrating his birthday again. This time alone.
Seeing my children as orphans in an orphanage I thought of their first birthdays. There were no gifts, no cake no parents to wish them a happy one. Life is hard on children young or old.
Well as the day went on and 3 hours later on the phone needless to say we have a new older son we adopted by heart and two of our ferrets now have a loving home. I am again a nickle less in my pocket but rich in my heart.
A dollar to a man with many dollars can many nothing to a man with few.
It is in the heart where we find our happiness and no amount of dollars can filled the void.
