Alright people, weve all heard of the ice bucket challenge. Now I am putting out my own challenge. I challenge you, yes you reading this right now, I challenge you to do an exceptionally good deed when you see the opportunity. Take a video of it, or after doing it and post it on Facebook. That is my challenge to you! Today I was driving home from picking up my Son in Edmonton, and as I approached the military garrison north of Edmonton, I noticed an extremely elderly man walking north up the highway with a big bag of stuff and a cane, holding his thumb out as he walked. I noticed everyone in front of me was staring intently at this man, but no one was picking him up. Im sure they all thought oh man thats sad, Im sure someone will pick him up. But thats not right. If you have the ability to help someone in need, do it! Because one day you will be in need, and hopefully someone with a good heart will be there to help you. I drove well out of my way to drive him home because he lived in a small rural town with little chance of someone actually going there, picking him up. He said he had been walking for 2 hours without water and every time he told someone where he needed to go, they wouldnt take him. I had a wonderful conversation with this man and a nice little drive through the countryside. Did it cost me much? Not really. Just a couple bucks in gas and a little of my time. But how much did I affect this man? Im sure I made his day when I offered him a ride, a bottle of water, and a banana from my lunch. Its not that hard people, if as many people that were doing the ice bucket challenge started doing the good deed challenge, there would be a lot more happiness in the world. Lets make it happen!
