In response to Elizabeth Oettinger’s letter to the editor on Feb. 8, about her denied request for assistance. Her only request was that a passerby help her over a snowbank so that she could proceed to the library. His answer was “sorry I can’t, I’m pressed for time,” and continued on his way. Was his time so valuable that he couldn’t assist an elderly lady to the sidewalk? A few seconds of kindness out of one person’s day makes a big difference.
In Second Corinthians, Verse 6, it reads: But this I say, he which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
To this individual I pose this question. In your time of need what will your harvest be? Will someone help you or will the response be sorry, no can do?
