Everyday we can help people around us as God guides us. I have seen that a lot of us (including me) have often become desensitized  with the current news/gaming/movies that when a person is in need we tend to overlook it. Yet there is a part within us which is waiting to leap out and help. 
We are in fear and kept in fear about the what-ifs if we help. Sometimes it feels easier to just donate money. Donation by itself is good too, it's our hard earned work that we give to others in a more useful form by them.  
However, we must get together again. We should all help each other with smiling, kind eyes and open hearts. This is what makes us feel good within. Soon we will be looking forward to every opportunity to help and serve. It is the biggest gift ever.
