Our buddy drove into the driveway of their employment, checked out the bike and seen someone lying next to it in the ditch. Quickly they went inside and asked a couple of co-workers to lend a hand.

They also gave the poor soul a ride, taking his...

Postive words build up and encourage.   Negative words will tear down and destroy.   I will vow to try to always find the good and make postive comments, so I may be a helper to someone else on this journey.  Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
