Day 92 - Inconvenience Yourself

A friend of ours came over last night and was telling us about his day. He shared that while he was driving home from school he saw a guy in a backpack running and thought he should see if the guy needed a ride. He passed him, and by the time he got home he felt bad for doing this, so he turned around and caught up to the guy. Just as he got to him the man's bus pulled away and he had missed it. So, he picked him up and took him to school. This happened a couple more times during the day, and he was able to help a couple more people get to school on time (and out of the cold weather for a couple minutes).
This made me think about the person I know that has most embodied love. He was constantly serving and loving others, and often did this while he was his way to do something else. He took time out to serve and love because that is what this life is really about anyways.
