I agree with many of the comments already made - "things happening for a reason", "it is part of god's plan" and that "our hearts need to be open" to welcome the chance to serve selflessly. Sometimes, we do not have to go far as there are such opportunities to help others within our own household (the young or aged), or amongst our group of friends, or in our local community groups, or outside the supermarket that we visit every week. Small gestures of kindness can often make a big difference in the life of another, but also move us towards becoming "one" with them - "me to we".

Directly in front of us was a mother and her young daughter. As the mother sang some of the traditional musical responses, i thought her voice was beautiful. Suddenly, i had a thought, "give her some money. " i happened to have a $20 bill in my purse, so i tapped her on the shoulder as we were about to leave and handed her the folded bill. She looked at me with a lovely smile and mouthed, "thank you. " when i told pat about that moment, she told me of her own experience: "that's so strange! I had the same feeling, but i only had a $5 bill. " we agreed, it was a message from the holy spirit, and if i had seen pat give her something, i wouldn't have followed my instincts. There are times people need money and times we should heed a feeling that says, "do something. " similar moments have occurred many times in my life. They are not accidental.
