Helping Each Other-By Maranatha

Some people help others and some don’t.

People are poor and they always go out in places and beg for any spare change.. (I always give them money because I’m a good helper). Some people need help but most people seem just too busy to help them. A friend of mine helps everyone. She helps me too. She picks me or other people up when they fall and she always keeps them happy and doesn’t make them feel left out. That’s called helping. Do you like people who help you or not?

Some people don’t care and sometimes, after you’ve helped them and given them advice on things, they change and start to hate you and that’s sad. People help because they care and they want your life to be happy. Helping people isn’t a big deal.

Be happy, don’t let others bring you down. You can’t help everyone but you can help someone in need.
