"Lending A Helping Hand"

My mom has a bad flu, so while she's laid up, I've been checking in on her and helping her out. 

Today, I was out buying groceries for her, and as I exited the supermarket, there was a young gentlemen, a high school student, who was trying to raise money for college. I gave him five dollars out of the money my mom had given me for her groceries and he thanked me for it. 

You see, helping your mom out when she's sick, giving a kid a chance at college -- these are ways we can all lend a helping hand.

And when my mom gets healthy and that kid graduates college, they'll have me to thank, and those two little things will be enough of a reward for me.
