Do you stick your nose up in the air when someone ask's you for help?

When someone needs you do you help them or do you turn
your nose up in the air to them and ignore them or say no?
How would you feel if someone did that to you? If you needed
something or needed some kind of help and they were mean to you?
Helping others is a good thing because it can turn you into
a loving person more sensitive to others feelings.
Helping others can warm your heart and take the bitterness
out of you.
Bitter people would rather not bother to help someone.
And people that are selfish and too caught up with me,me,me
don't like to help others. They are too busy with themselves.
But if you want to be loving and humble, start showing you
care about others. Help others out.
Ways to help others is:
Listen to them when they are sad and lonely.
Hold a door open for someone so they can walk in before you.
Volunteer cleaning at a church
Witness to others about God..about getting saved.
take care of someone when they are sick
visit someone at the hospital
lend someone a little bit of money
help someone carry something heavy
help someone find a job if they have trouble
drive someone to the food store or to work
help watch someone's kids for them for free
make dinner for your household
bring food to the food pantry for the poor
give a homeless person a sandwich and something to drink
pray for others

I try to help people when I can, not always financially, but I have had many opportunities God has given me to help someone else out. Even if I see an accident I join others in assisting the individuals. I think I would feel bad if someone refused to help if I was in need. I have had strangers assist me in different ways as well.

That is awesome you enjoy helping others as well. That is great that others you didn't even know, helped you out when you needed help.

Hi, imaginelove. Welcome to myLot.
That is a great list you provide for ways to help others. May I add.... just smile. Sometimes a nice sincere smile to someone in need is enought to give them hope.

hi, i couldn't have said it better. to answer your question, no i don't turn my nose up to others when they ask for my help. if i am able to help them i will, and if i can't help them directly then i will try to find someone who can. it's easy for me to lend someone a helping hand because that's what i was taught. although we have to be careful these days because there are more and more people out there who will try to take advantage of a kind hearted person, i still don't let that stop me if they try to use me or take advantage of me then they will get it back sooner or later.

Thank you so much for your observation on the topic and the concrete tips of offering help. It is something that works both ways. We need help sometimes too, and we feel ill if not doing properly when confronted with the need for help. A society of harmony needs everyone's contribution.

I say "Yes" at most of the time when someone ask me for help.But sometimes I really don't want to help others.Not because I'm not sympathetic,but due to a person who isn't worth my help.I know an old woman who is a beggar,but I never gave her any money.The old woman isn't poor,her children are all have job.And they show filial obedience to her.So I think she isn't lack of money and she must be happy.Is she a cheat?So I think people who have the same behavior as that old woman should not be helped.Do you think so?
