让世界充满爱
Dark clouds and heavy April showers had taken the sunshine out of spring. It was gloomy and dreary as I drove to the local store for another week’s worth of food.
I walked in and wiped(擦) the wet out of my hair and off of my glasses. After filling my cart(购物车), I paid for my food and headed towards the door. Nature suddenly called, however, and I found myself leaving my cart and rushing into the restroom. After answering the call I was cleaning up when I heard a loud “bang”. I turned and saw that an old man with a walker(助行器) had slipped and fallen to the floor. I rushed over to see if he was alright. Another man and I helped him to stand up. He was unhurt and thanked us both several times. I headed back to my cart and pushed it to my car. The rain had stopped but the sky was still overcast. That didn’t matter, though, because deep in my heart there was sunshine.
I have found time and time again that we are most alive when we stop to help another. I have found that we are most ourselves when we are sharing love, spreading joy, and doing all we can to make this world a better place. I have found that we are closest to God when we are giving our kindness and compassion to everyone.
