Shame on me!

This may not qualify as a gift I gave to another but perhaps one that I gave to myself. Call it redemption. For a self absorbing moment, I was somebody that wouldn't get involved. A couple of days ago I was leaving a building when I noticed this women sitting on a bench just inside the entrance slightly bent over and looking rather intense. People were coming and going and before I gave it a second thought I had walked past her and was on the sidewalk outside. It was then that I had my "second thought". What did I just do? I had walked by this lady with not having said a single word. I went back to her and asked if there was anything I could do to help. It turned out that she suffered a little too much from over exertion after some surgery and her husband was getting the car. I stayed with her until the husband had returned. She thanked me but I didn't see why. I asked for her to forgive me for walking past her the first time. May it never be to late to correct ones mistakes. Ken Schulz
