The Kindness of Helping Out

“The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others.”
~ Albert Schweitzer

One of my good mom friends is the kind of person you always want on your side.  Just a few days ago, I was remembering how she came over to my house late one night to help me with an emergency housekeeping project – even though she is an early-to-bed person.  Recently, she asked me to call her later than I usually think of her being awake.  It turns out that she was at a meeting of an organization that she cares deeply about and was told that it needed additional people to participate in a fundraising campaign.  So she was reaching out.  That’s just the kind of person she is and I feel blessed that she is my friend.
