Learning How People Helping People Can Change The World

By Eric Barnes


Whenever a person is faced with a problem they will usually turn to another human being in order to talk things out. People helping people is quite common in most parts of the world and this is something that continues to go on strong. Every individual must try to cope with money, love and happiness as they go through life and sometimes these three things can be very complicated.

It is quite awkward when someone comes across a person who has given up the will to live and needs to separate themselves from society. A dedicated teacher who made her home in South Carolina wanted to do more for the world and therefore she started her own unique care service. This woman also knew that the humans making their homes in a retirement facility were easily forgotten by everyone. At least one day during the week she made an effort to take these individuals enjoyable reading material.

She would then drive for about one hour before reaching a nursing home facility which was located on the other side of town. Once arriving at this place the woman would take her belongings inside of this building. She made sure to keep her bibles on top of this book pile since they were considered to be very important.

One lively gentleman living at this location would help her carry all of these valuable books into the facility. The lead nurse would then take her into the main parlor while the other staff members would gather up every patient living there. For the first hour of the evening this lucky lady had the pleasure of holding a church meeting for all of these older individuals.

Laughter was indeed the best medicine for this group since this woman would tell very interesting stories during her sermon to everyone. Every person also got a chance to sing their favorite song from the music books which were readily available next to the bibles. The lady was indeed a great preacher and teacher.

Fortunately the attendants were able to calm some of the more mature ladies who had become deeply touched by the unique sermon which was in progress. The young woman sat there looking so angelic and she had a smile that would lighten up any dark room within the area.

After the church sermon was over with everyone within the room knew that they could now move on to their favorite part of the evening. This was when the attendants got a chance to utilize their vocal talents while reading from one of the wonderful books which were brought in. "A Tale of Two Cities" and "Moby Dick" sound wonderful when they are read out loud. Sometimes the group also got a chance to listen to famous fables and plays which are in writing. Each story made the older individuals very happy during this time of their life.

Each staff member got their chance to read to the entire group as the hours went on. The kind lady who created this event would simply sit back in a comfortable chair and smile with approval at each person. When the fun and activities were finished she would then gather everything once again and wish everyone a good evening. They knew that this angel would once again return to brighten their day.
