Offers to help will not always be accepted or even wanted, but when love is genuinely offered, it is then out there in the world, changing the energy, shifting the momentum.
Whether it’s stopping on a busy road to check on someone, setting food on a porch with a note, sending a heartfelt text message, making a donation, or providing a place to stay, that offering, whether accepted or not, is out there in the world, where it can stick and serve as armor.
....
Sometimes when people need help, they can’t say yes,
But the offer still stands,
Like a beacon in the night on a cold winter’s day,
Reminding them that someone cared enough to ask. - Rachel Macy Stafford
