~One of the deep secrets of life is that all that is really worth doing, is what we do for others~ Lewis Carroll
You put others needs
before your own. You uplift and extend
compassion to others without hesitation or thought of reward. You exude selflessness, show genuine concern
and emulate integrity. Your graciousness
needs no credit or acknowledgement, it is so ingrained in who you are, it would
feel wrong not to extend it when you are called to it. And
you do all of this, even when no one else is watching. It is not something you give, hoping to
fulfill some selfish agenda, or only turn on when you have spectators.
Sadly, though, you are easily taken for granted,
and show so much strength, you are often forgotten when you become depleted,
and it is your turn for guidance or encouragement. And even though you are so often subject to
ridicule, judgement and criticism by those who can’t fathom how one could be so
generous with themselves, you continue to do “good” anyway.
You are the “helpers”,
the god sent earth angels who take this world, and the people in it, to higher
places.
So, this is my love
letter to you, the “helpers” in my life, expressing my sincerest, deepest gratitude
for the intangible gifts you bestow on others.
You are inspiring, and the true role models in this world. You are appreciated and adored beyond words,
and I am so blessed to have you in my circle.
Keep your light, shining bright.
This world would be so much darker without you.
Who are your “helpers”
or “do-gooders”? How have you honored
them lately?
