A Mitzvah
Doing a mitzvah means doing a selfless act that helps another person. The only thing you get out of it is a good feeling, which is better than any other reward. Yesterday my sister did a mitzvah. She had been in a doctor's office for a few hours and when she was finally done she went to her car to go home. She noticed an elderly man at her car window. She asked him if anything was wrong. He told her that he could not find his car. He walked around the lot twice, in 90 degree heat, with a medical boot on his foot but did not see his car. He said that he just lost his wife of 40 years and his mind was not clear. He said he did not know what to do. He asked her to drive him around the lot and said he would pay her. It seems that the building had four entrances with four identical lots, so if you did not know which entrance you came in, it could be confusing. She told him to get into her car but that she would not accept money. They drove up and down the aisles of the four lots for about 20 minutes when he finally spotted his car. He was so relieved. Again, he offered her money. She said she did not want money. The only thing she wanted was for him to wish her and her family good health. He said he would wish for her, what he wishes for himself.
