It's tough out there! People are losing jobs, losing their vehicles, losing their homes. Not just any people, they may be members of your own family or network. The have become victims of circumstances not out of their own doing (but, may God forgive them, the doing of others). Be that as it may, they need help.
You might say, "Heck, if anyone needs help, it is me!" But maybe you have a spare room, extra clothes, a second car, a third TV set, just an old radio. Give it to those who need it. Because nothing lasts forever, not even the bad times, and when they (the bad times) are over those who you shared your extras with will pay back in kind, in wishes or prayers. You might feel that you do not need anything in return but there is one thing that you will have forever: the greatest compliment you can pay yourself.
