As always, I love your commentaries for not only what you say, but the way they stimulate that nether region of the mind that seeks knowledge, relevance and inspiration. One of the seven pillars of the Muslim faith is to give without being asked. Why does a Jew read the Koran? To understand what he doesn't know. My sister-in-law has a habit of paying for the purchase of the car behind hers in the drive through lane just to brighten a stranger's day. I have done that occasionally with great reward. I have noticed that Rhode Island drivers are more inclined to allow the opposing car to make a left turn at a stop sign or stop light than any other state. I am so blessed that God and/or circumstances brought me and my family to Rhode Island 45 years ago.

Ed Carols good deeds are rarely written about, but we need more Carols doing GODS work. When we extend ourselves to help others whether in a humanitarian or monetary way, we enlighten our world.

It’s so true….we do God’s work when we serve others. Thank you for sharing your stories. They always make me stop and say “Hmmmmm”. It so important to think about things like this because we were put here to help each other…..but it’s easy to forget as we go about our busy lives.

My guess, Melina, is that you are an advocate somewhere, somehow every day.
