WISE WORDS AND SIMPLE HELP

The simple helps this week are based on wise, famous words! Inspirational quotes and real-world acts of kindness are two sides of the same coin. They couldn't look more different, but they are two components of the same thing. Inspirational quotes create a stirring in the heart. They make us want to be better and to do better, too. Real-world acts of kindness -- those moments where we are simply helping someone out -- usually feel more like discipline than inspiration. But it is action that changes the world. Wise words can inspire us with how the world needs us. Simple help can meet that need in ways that actually change the world. Without both sides, after all, a coin isn't worth what it could be.
