YOU ARE WORTHY

"No work is insignificant.  All labor that

uplifts humanity has dignity and importance."

Martin Luther King, Jr

Traveling as a guest with an exceptionally successful business woman, I acquired many lessons.  This woman never looked down upon others as she had never forgotten what it was like to be dirt poor. This was her way of contributing respect and support.  It was nothing for her to tuck money into the towel by the sink for the maid to find.  The woodworker on his knees styling a design in the entry way discovered extra money secreted in his tool box.  I admired my friend for being anonymous with her gestures, never wanting to be discovered nor waiting for recognition.  

In conversation with her cleaning lady, she learned the woman had not only a degree but exceptional credentials.  The professional had accepted a lesser job to be able to attend medical appointments with her handicapped child.  My friend wrote a grant for this woman to offer services in community areas for the aged, working around responsibilities for her son.   

We can serve those in need through acts of kindness, requiring only our thoughtfulness and respect for the efforts of others.  No matter what our gestures, they relay the feelings of I SEE YOU, I AM THANKFUL and YOU ARE WORTHY.
