I went to visit my brother who is sick on Sunday after Christmas. He is no better. He has lost some of his breathing capability. But still his chipper self!
He had a shirt on that made me do a lot of thinking. It says.."He who does cannot explain...He who doesnt cannot understand".
This inspired me to write this.
I know a lady who gets out of bed every day with a smile on her face.
She takes time to call and ask me if I am O.K.,never complaining about her health or problems.
She invites me over for a cup of coffee, hot biscuits and fried apples. What a treat!
She always inquires if everyone is O.K.
She lives alone and seldom asks for help.
This wonderful lady is my Mother. She is 83 years old.
If you ask her why she does this, she would just smile and say....Oh I cant explain it, it just makes me feel like I am doing something good.
She cannnot explain how she knows if something is wrong. She cannot explain how she knows something is going to happen....She just knows.
If you do not have this kind of love, then you cannot understand it.
I was a bit of a rebel in my younger days. I did not understand and everything was just a punishment as far as I was concerned.
Not every one has someone so wonderful to guide them. She saw something in me (even when I was not good) that she thought was worth her time and effort and for that I will always be grateful.
When you see someone who doesnt "do", help them to understand. nitro
