Anne Sanders likes to help others. Why? Because it feels so good. Because it's the right thing to do. Because she can, which helps her see that her life is better than she sometimes thinks it is. Helping is a way of connecting with other people, some whom you will never see and others who will thank you with their words, smiles, and hearts. Through her son's cancer and her husband's deployments, she has asked for help and given it, too. We all need help and we all need to help others. You can also find Anne blogging at blog.annesanders.net or at her website helping-hearts.net.

My son’s teacher this year is new to the school although she has taught for many years. As an older teacher, she is not afraid to ask for help. At the open house, she told us that she will be doing art on Thursdays and could use some help then. ... Read more...
When I was a little girl, my mother used to read a book to me that I have never forgotten. It was called Litterbugs Come in Every Size. It had pictures of fanciful creatures that were eating candy bars and throwing wrappers on the gr ... Read more...

In a little over two weeks, we will be remembering the events of September 11 from ten years ago. That day stands out in my mind because we had just moved back to the area of the world in which I had grown up. We were staying on the beach in a condominium for a mont ... Read more...
Sometimes the person who needs your help the most is someone close to you. I have been over my friend’s house helping her pack and move for two Sundays. I felt so bad for her because she did the crafts for our church’s Vacation Bible Sc ... Read more...
