My neighbor, Jim, had trouble deciding if he wanted to retire from the construction field.
That was until he ran into a younger man he’d worked with previously.
The young man had a wife and three children and was finding it difficult to make ends meet, since he hadn’t worked in some time.
The next morning, Jim went to the union office and submitted his retirement paperwork. As for his replacement, he gave them the name of the young man.
That was six years ago, and that young husband and father has been employed ever since. (Miranda MacLean, Brutus, Michigan)
Like Jim, from time to time, you will find yourself in a situation where you see an opportunity to help someone else.
Will you help the other person or walk away because you “don’t want to get involved.”
If not today, when?
