An inner voice
Submitted by: Joy
Salem OregonI bought the book TheS ecret about a week ago and have not been able to put it down. I read it every chance I get. Sometimes I read the chapters over and over again so I can get it clearpicture in my mind.
Sunday May the 15th, I woke up and gave thanks for all I could think of to be thankful for. I then proceeded to say aloud that I would like to do somethiing nice for someone today, someone I didn’t know.
As I went about my day first to church, then off to the grocery store. I found the perfect parking place which made me think of positive thinking and how it really does work. I parked my car, sat there for a moment and noticed a little old lady walking in the parking lot. She first went this way and then that way, back and forth with the grocery cart and looking so lost. Something in me said “Get out and help that lady”. I just sat there and watched for a moment, then again the voice, “Get out and go help her!” I got out of my car, went over to her and said “Can I help you? She said “I wish you would”. She couldn”t find where she had parked her car. I put her in my car and we drove through the WalMart parking lot and finally found her car. I asked her name and she said “Thelma”. She was so sweet and so grateful. she then asked me my name and I told her Joy. She said “Of Course it is, it is a perfect name for you”. WOW I was so happy to have helped her, it made my day. Not only was I able to help someone but, as it turned out, she helped me too with her kind words. I wished her well and I went about my day. This is my Secret and makes me smile everytime I think of what a great day it was last Sunday.
