Think of your fellow man
Lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart
You see it's getting late
Oh please don't hesitate
Put a little love in your heart
And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see
Another day goes by
And still the children cry
Put a little love in you heart
If you want the world to know
We won't let hatred grow
Put a little love in your heart
And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see
Wait and see
Take a good look around
And if you're lookin' down
Put a little love in your heart
I hope when you decide
Kindness will be your guide
Put a little love in your heart
And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see
Put a little love in your heart
Put a little love in your
Love in your heart
One of my little dogs is "special" we've always known that. She was born with only one eye but has some kind of tissue holding the place for the missing one and it looks weird. She has a few other quirks and we have gotten used to them.
Recently we have decided to empty our loft room (another story - that's kinda funny) Anyhoo we rearranged the furniture to take up half of the living room to make room for going through stuff from upstairs.
Background info sufficiently bored you?
Our other little dog, her brother, has always had trouble jumping - sometimes inbred pups have hip problems (we suspect he's his own grampa) so to help him get up we have a little stool. The stool has been working out fine for a couple years. Oh, there has been a few times when our granddaughter has used the stool and left it too far from the chair and we find him sitting on the stool in the middle of the room just staring at the abyss mystified that he used to be able to jump to the chair from this very stool.
Now she is having trouble jumping up. But will not use the stool. WILL NOT USE THE STOOL. It is as if she can not see it. Or worse like it is the reason she cant jump! Aaaagh!
So while I am thinking of my fellow man, and how I can give him a helping hand, I must put a little love in my heart for this dog with special needs and figure out how to get her to use the stool.
And here it is folks! The reason these two seemingly disconnected topics connect.
Sometimes a helping hand is a gift. Just handing someone in need that which they need.
They are broke - you hand them cash.
They are hungry - you give them food.
They are lonely - you visit them.
Sometimes a helping hand is sharing a tool they need. But tools are only helpful when used, and used appropriately. So at that point you may need to invest in some time to teach them how to use that tool. I suppose, if you yourself are unable to teach "tool 101" you should direct your fellow man to where they can find someone who can.
So while I am housebound - broken ankle, short story - I may just spend sometime teaching a special need doggy how to use a stool. You, on the other hand can choose to help your fellow man however you see fit.
May God bless you in your endeavors!
