Thoughts for the servant

So I have been thinking.

I spent all of yesterday afternoon helping out at the Pelt's new house, and helping them move in. And on the ride home, a certain verse popped into my head along with another. It was John 12:8 and James 1:27.
"You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me."
"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."

But it got me to thinking, because I remember a related verse where it says we are to care for the orphans and the poor. This got me thinking about all that had happened that day and how we are called to help those previously mentioned. But if we are called to do this, and by doing this, the love that God pours out unto us being poured unto them, how much more should we care for those in our body?

What we did for the Pelts is exactly what I felt we should have done. The response was heartening and uplifting. But disaster strikes everyone of us, does it not? It strikes in the form of sin. It causes us to stumble every day, and hinders from being as close to God as we all should truly desire. So shouldn't we not only gather for those kinds of situations, but also just to uplift one another?
Should not being an encouragement and there for you brothers and sisters cause such a reaction?

Since we are not at our final destination, and we should be the poor in spirit and be humble, I feel we should rush to each others aide in those times as well.
