Journey of Quilting

shelter...

We all need shelter...
from the rain...

to have a place to sleep...

from a heart ache...

from harm...

the shelter that surrounds us, whether it's physical or mental...

needs to be protected — and that is exactly what each of us need to do...
you are the one
When you don't help others, then their shelter will crumble all around them and leave them in a desolate place... alone...

I don't know about you... but I certainly cannot hold all this up myself — indeed not...

e-mail someone who you think needs it... say your sorry for whatever wrong you have done... go pull weeds in your neighbor's vegetable garden...

if you aren't already helping others, then pretty much get off your bum and help!...
if it means inviting your friends over for a night of jolly fun... okay...

giving your pig an extra nibble at supper... that's fine too...
but my main concern here is NOT the planet, but the people that are in it...

there's this great saying which goes: "treat others like you want to be treated"
it is that simple
do you want to starve?... do you want to go through winter freezing?... i didn't think so
just think about it... and next time you see that woman at your local grocery store who drops her keys, her children run into the parking lot, and you wonder how she can feed her children on only beans and rice (which you saw at the checkout)... well... for God's sake! help her!!
whatever it takes... maybe a simple prayer? a little extra money? a meal? a smile? there are way too many times I see others just passing by when they should be stopping to lend a hand and reaching out... nature reminds us of this... always reaching...

~you just have to listen from your heart, and not just observe with your eyes~
