Taking the First Step

Sometimes I wonder what would happen if everyone was driven to make a change. To reach out to the people around them, to love, and to let others know they aren't alone.
Did you know that you are surrounded by people who feel lonely every day?
Did you know that most people when they are hurting (for whatever reason) will not right out tell you that they are in pain and need someone to talk to.
YOU have to take the first step and reach out to them. Let them know you care. Listen to them, love them. Eventually they may come to you when they need someone. Or they may not, it just depends.
you just have to be ready to be there, to love.
You could just save a life.
Look for the lonely, the brokenhearted, the hurting.
Take the time to help heal their wounds, the joy from helping other people is indescribable.
seeing someone smile and knowing you helped put that smile on their face is an amazing thing.
So this coming week, take that first step. Maybe just smile at someone who seems to be having a bad day. Sit with someone who is sitting alone.
Listen to someone.
Love someone.
Give someone a hug, even if they dont ask for it.
Take the first step, and together we can take steps to a better community, to a better world.
