What I do Have

Yesterday I had someone reach out to me needing a small amount of help. They wanted to know if I had enough change to get them a soda. Come to find out they had lost water due to a leak and was just broke and thirsty.

My first reaction was to explain to them that I have been off work for years not and that I had absolutely no money, not even enough to get them a soda. I felt terrible that I could not help them. As I was typing out that reply it hit me. I may not be able to meed the need in the way they wanted me to but I could still meet it. I grabbed a soda and ran it over to them.

The lesson of the day for me was, instead of focusing on what I don't have. I need to think about what I do have and how I can use it to help
