Boxes

Everyone in life has a box of "struggles" and "needs". All the boxes are the same size AND they change weight over time. Some poeple can carry heavy boxes with ease adn others have a "lighter" box but struggle under it.
Part of being a good person is helping those who are struggling to handle their "box". Not to judge how heavy or light the box is nor to judge how weak or strong a person is.
It is too easy to say all the boxes are the same size and everyone has one so dont complain about yours. A box of feathers and a box of lead are too very different burdens. Some people will show you the contents of their box and others wont. We are all different about it. Dont assume anything from the looks of the box nor how well the person is carrying it. I encourage us to help each other becuase you never know when your box will change. Helping someone out now will come back at you in a good way later.

Wish I could take credit for these wonderful words. But they were sent to me via my HEMI-KIDs list server. A wonderful group of people with kids just like Jospeh. Thanks Kathy for an enlightening prespective.
