One rainy day on my way to work, as I was waiting for my bus, I noticed a man without an umbrella. Everyone else waiting had either an umbrella or a hood to keep them dry. This man didnt have either. I really feel as if I was called to him. I felt an instinct I would normally never feel. As I pondered what I was about to do, I realized we live in a society that doesnt care. People think whatever they are going through is much worse than you could possibly be going through. I walked up to this man, knowing he would probably think me weird, and asked him if he wanted to stand under my umbrella. Just like that. I will admit I was very nervous. But like I mentioned an instinct.. It wasnt mine. I believe it was God's. He ended up turning me down on the offer, but I made him smile really big, and we ended up discussing the bus we were waiting for. I felt so amazing, and really felt like this is what I want to be doing. Going out of my way to show kindness, to show compassion, and to be loving. Although I cant force people to do crazy things like I did, I strongly encourage it. It will change your life. You will be so scared, and nervous and probably fear embarassment, and humiliation, but in the end you will be rewarded with the feeling of accomplishment and truly wonder why it was so scary in the first place.
