God helps those who help others

Met a retired social worker who lives alone and was hospitalized recently following ulcerative colitis. Patient used to receive meals on wheels for food, however after her recent hospitalization she is restricted in the type of food she can eat so she cancelled her meals on wheels service. Meals on wheels is a non-profit organization who assists elderly people who can't prepare food or doesn't have a reliable source of either friends/ family who can help manage patient's meals. In spite of knowing that meals on wheels have a waiting list and knowing that once if she cancels there is a possibility that she may have to wait for a while before she will be enrolled again. She said" Being a social worker,  I have seen so many homeless and poor people and have seen what food means to a lot of them. When I know that I am not going to eat the food which meals on wheels deliver, it will be wrong for me to continue the service when I know same meal can benefit another needy person. There is somebody who will value this food more than me at this time.' Today she is not driving and she relies on her friend who assist with getting grocery. I offered help and she gladly accepted it. I felt proud to be of a help to a person who has high moral value. I drove myself to HEB and bought her yogurt/ Bread/ grocery items which will last for 1-2 weeks. She was happy and couldn't thank me enough. I responded that good things happens to good people, all her life she has helped people who were in need so God will make sure that there is somebody who is there for her now that she needs somebody.
