I am sure we have all heard the story of "The Good Samaritan." Well when I think of that story in this day and age , I think of my sister Donna.
Donna never passes up the opportunity to help others. She is forever ready and willing to help another. She is available day or night to step in and make things a little easier for the person who is having a tough time or has fallen in need of some help.
Donna has this strong tugging at her heart to do whatever she can for the one who is down trodden. Its like its her whole purpose in life and I worry that it gets to be a bit much at times for her. I have seen her in action many times as she goes out of her way to help those who are ill, low on money, sad, homeless, or just plain in need of cheering up, you name it. A nice trait but it also has come back to haunt her at times. Such a person came around more than a dozen times and Donna had already done all she could do. It was only after the lady moved that Donna got some peace from that situation.
But as it goes , she will not leave one stone unturned until she has found away to help that person solve their immediate problem.
When she worked at Albertsons there were many a time she would pull from her own pocket to pay that extra few cent or dollars so some unfortunate person would have what groceries they needed. She has given people rides to their homes when it was far away and an inconvenience.
I feel strongly that the day will come that all the good she has done will not go unnoticed. Donna has a great love for people which I see radianting everywhere we go together. Her heart is sincere. There are many people I have ran into here in this small town of Eustis who tell me what a wonderful person Donna is. Many times they have come up to me and said:
"Do you have a sister that works at Albertsons?" I say yes and they say I thought so! then they go on to tell me what a wonderful person she is. I don't think we look alike at all but to just have someone come up to me and sometimes mistake me for her is quite a honor . They see a expression or something that gives them a clue that we just might be related and I feel greatly honored to be her sister. I tell her she will have the biggest funeral service Eustis has ever seen when she is called up yonder. we both laugh, but for sure she is known by many for her caring and helping ways, and cheerful personality.
So here is to you Donna , the good Samaritan reward card!! You can take a break now for awhile, your card is full !!
love ya, Dottie
