A day not soon forgotten

As our Nation mourns the loss of one of our past Presidents there are many things that come to mind. To some, this time passes without thought of days gone by. To others, there is great sorrow for the passing. One of the things that is touched upon is the fact that this person was more of humanitarian than anything else. You can’t help but be compelled to follow in that idea. My husband came home from work saying that he wanted to volunteer with a local shelter downtown. I said that would gladly join him and do what I could to help out too. When we arrived we asked where they needed help and when they learned that my husband was an electrician, they asked him if he knew anything about furnaces. He had no formal training but said he could take a look at one. It turned out that many of the less fortunate who came for dinners and such were in need of repairs to their HVAC systems but could not afford it. He felt this was a great way that he could help out. He offered his services, such as they were, but also told them that he had some friends that worked for local HVAC companies that he could call too. It doesn’t seem like much but it will help a few. We should all do what we can and making people’s homes safe and warm will bring joy to them. Being reminded that we are to do good for others sometimes is a good thing. If everyone does a little, much can be done.
