How far-reaching a smile or friendly word may be in transmuting some unhappy life into one of hope and cheer, none can say. Each of us knows the effect they have on us, though, and while the help may be only momentary, none of us can afford to overlook these opportunities to serve another.
We can be comforted in knowing there is a purpose to even the most heart-wrenching experiences. Most helpful is to know that the Great Ones are aware of these deeply troubling times and are as near as our thoughts, offering whatever solace and comfort is for our best good to make bearable an otherwise most demanding situation
