Brother helping Brother

[skeets]

I know there are some Brothers of the craft in here besides me. And I just wanted to say something. One of our young Brothers in the Lodge has just gotten out of the hospital, and it seems while he was in, the cows made a brake for it, and really tore up the fence. As far as I know they got most of them back.
I put out an all call yesterday and guys for 4 different Lodges have volunteered to come Sat morning and help rebuild fences for him. I think it is a wonderful thing when friends, neighbors and people that you do not even know can come together to help.
While others sit and say, well they aint my cows, my fences are good....
I just wanted to toss this out and say thank you to all, not just my Brothers , but to all, that care enough to help someone else in need.

Nice to hear people care, especially in today's world.
(oops, is that too close to forbidden subjects?)

Caring is not limited to lodge brothers or whatever the frame of reference. I have union brothers and biker brothers. One of my brothers had a stroke and will return home tomorrow. Rest assured his other brothers (including me) will be staying with him and helping out until he's stable enough to go it on his own again.

Indeed, I have sat with guys I rode with, in the hospital and stood at the grave side, and helped their families. You stand with those you love and for those you love.

Brothers helping Brothers is a great feeling and rewarding for all involved.

Our time is the most precious and limited asset that we have. To share it with a friend is the most personally rewarding thing that we can do. You did good.

Shouldn't the topic be "people helping people"?

Call it what you will my friend

The way I read it, in this instance it was a call to Lodge Brothers for help and they responded.

In another instance it could be a call to anyone else; family, neighbors, or even strangers, but that would be another instance.
