There is some poweful medicine out there!!!!!

“No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.”

― Charles Dickens

__________________________________________________

there are times we are a l burdens

sometimes we don’t mean to be

sometimes we have no choice

sometimes, well, we just are

because we are tired

mentally in distress

hurt

wounded

but even those who can be burdens

can lighten the burdens of others

some of the most  generous people I know

people who reach out and care (in an appropriate manner)

are people who need help

sometimes lots of it

when we see a person

and our heart goes “Oh N0!  Not them, they are so needy”

perhaps our thought should be instead

in what way, however small, can this person

be there for another

Help other

Life another up

Maybe they listen

Or run an errand

Maybe they simply say, “Man that sucks, I am here for you man!

Studies have shown

That one of the most powerful healing medicines for people with mental illness is

Volunteerism

Every person

Has something they can do to lift the burden of another

Let’s help them find it

And sometimes they person they can help

Is us!
