Sam’s Hangout #92 - “YULETIDE KINDNESS”
Hello everyone, my beautiful hive naija people, it's another beautiful weekend and we are so happy to have you here once again. It’s another weekend to buzz the hive blockchain even as we connect with ourselves. It’s just feel good to get everyone together every weekend to talk about random things and just have fun.
OBJECTIVE
As we all know, Sam`s Hangout is focused on promoting the togetherness of the Nigeria brethren through engagement and it's also now concerned of the well being of each and everyone who is part of the engagement. This account was opened to make the engagement more personal and official. You can find the INTRODUCTION POST to read more about the purpose and aim of this account and also do well to follow the account so as to know when a post is made.
Weekend engagement every weekend on Hive was originally created by @ galenkp as he founded the Weekend-Engagement community and initiative. I thought it would be nice to have a weekend engagement too in a Nigerian way for everyone that cares to be a part of it.
Moving forward, Aside chatting and gisting here in the comment section, Feel free to post your weekend activities in the Weekend-Experiences Community.
Please do follow the rules of the community! And check the community for the recent topics
The last time, the topic was ”DOING DIFFERENT"
We had 200+ comments in our last hangout. Everyone came together and shared their interesting and honest opinions about the topic. There were jokes, harmless banter, and valuable lessons. It’s still getting exciting! Let’s see if we can still beat our all time high this weekend again, shall we? 👀. Please let’s try to make sure to encourage every response to the discussion by leaving a comment. It has always been so nice seeing people who dedicate their time to engaging and sharing their thoughts and ideas with us, I want to appreciate you all for the consistency, quality engagement and your efforts, let's keep them coming. Special thanks to everyone who makes this hangout possible.
I will drop a topic every Friday (Today's topic is below), share your thoughts on the matter, reply to someone else opinion, and interrogate the opinion if you like. Keep the discussion on. If you don't have anything to say about the topic. Just reply to someone else's comment. And also tag your friends to join us.

YULETIDE KINDNESS
Now to our discussion for this weekend! We will be discussing “YULETIDE KINDNESS”. It’s that time of the year when we are reminded to show more kindness than we normally do. We go out to share love with our friends, family and neighbors! As they say, Christ is the reason for the season so it’s the best time to show love and kindness to others.
But here’s the question!
Our hangout is still in mind and plans are still forming to make it a reality. Check out our last post to stay updated.Here’s a link to the post. Thanks to everyone that has contributed and is contributing towards the success of this hangout. Keep supporting the plans as we are making good progress.
Remember, the aim of the hangout is to bring people together, particularly Nigerians. So make sure you have this in mind when responding to the questions. And feel free to add even more to it if you have more.
If you know you have a topic you would want us to discuss about, please feel free to suggest them to us. All you have to do is suggest the topic in the comment and tag @sam.hangout to it.
Okay Let's Gist!!!
Don't you think we are forgetting somebody?... Well, I'm sure we are...
FRIDAY PLANS, OWANBE SATURDAY, AND SUNDAY REFLECTIONS
On Friday, we talk about our goals for the weekend. Will you be indoor throughout or do you have a date to plan? Owanbe Saturday is a day to share interesting gists about parties. You can also share pictures. On Sunday, we reflect and share our plans for the new week. Let’s see how it goes!
There are no further rules, please banter as you like, speak any Nigerian language (Igbo, Yoruba, pidgin, Efik), anything, as long as someone else can understand.
With all that said, let the discussion begin...

This is actually kind of you. Thank you so much. This is the same thing I do with waste. I try my best to hold on to it until I find a trash can. But I guess not many people would see this as something worth mentioning.
It's definitely Worth mentioning sissy.
You're making the world a better, safer and cleaner place to live in.

This is another act of kindness we don't really talk about
Oh wow! That's another great way of showing kindness .. Preventing others from getting hurt
Thank you. Compliments of the season.

Hehe, you are trying.
I agree with you that every little thing counts and the act of kindness can go beyond money and physical things.
I dig your style. I learnt that act from my mum ,when you walk with her, you will be tired of stop and pick .
She stops intermittently to take pit stuffs she think might be a safety challenge to others.
That's a good way of being our brothers keeper.
Well done 👏
That's an act of kindness too😊
My grandma is very deliberate about this , growing up she sweeps the compound so clean, picks around because she knows I and my siblings will play out there after school and doesn't want anyone to get injured.
The society needs more people like you, I do this when I see one, but I don't pay full attention to it.
Compliment of the season 🥰
Once you do it often , it would become a part of you.
Same to you
That's a nice one, you know. Many might not see it as something since it's “none of their business,” but you made it a responsibility. Now, imagine if everyone does that? And who know ls how many people you might have protected from these acts?
Thank you

Impacting lives is the best way to show love and the real essence of living is adding values amd Impacting lives.
This is not to say that we should pressurise ourselves to engage in good works.
Nope, it is better when it flows from our heart without struggle.
Well done and more bounties.
Sure you are right, getting the real blessing is only possible when it flows from our heart.

For me, I believe gifts should come from free will and not being forced or out of pressure but when it turns out to be out of pressure or eye service then it's no longer a gift anymore.
My gifts might be a simple call or text to someone I haven't reached out to in a while.. It might be a token to someone I know is in need if I have the privilege,it might be sharing our of the food I have cooked for the festive and many more.. Like I said gifts should come from the hearts and not to count scores, putting oneself under some unnecessary pressure..
One of the most impactful small act of kindness I have witnessed was a woman been harassed by the transporters because she doesn't have up to the amount she was supposed to board the bus for but instead of allowing the woman be dragged out by these kogberegbe conductors, a guy stood in and paid for her and the woman almost knelt for him. One could have realized from her act that she had nothing else on her and would have turned a corporate begger that night to get home.
@marsdave @goldenproject @van.illa @ozd @daverick @treasuree @chefqueen @mikechrist Are you guys here already?
You nailed it....when it's been forced or one is been pressured too, then it's obviously not from the heart....
Wow, we still have very good and kind people in our world. May God bless him wherever he is...
I've witnessed such before as well, and it was one that really surprised me. The person who paid for this lady was a young lady selling gala and drinks. I was like, omo.....with all this sun and stress that you've passed through to make sales, you have out #500 like that...
I would have love to pay for her though, but that day, all I had on me was the money I would be paying the conductor as well.
There are still people with heart of kindness so it's like that sometimes..
The one I mostly do fall into is standing up for someone who is boarding standing and I see is a pregnant woman or elderly
View more
Yesooo no matter what, we shouldn't allow ourselves to be pressured while doing any kind of good.
Because such doesn't really attracts blessings as we are told. But when we cheerfully do our good, the blessings thereof are great.
I've witnessed a lot of people paying and relieving people of transportation fares especially in my place of living.
Some miscreants even take it as a norm that they would board a bus and would start networking as they term it for someone to pay for them.
While it is annoying, I've also seen some people that are really stranded who also got help from other passengers.
Every good done by us in any little way has its reward.
While Christmas reminds us to show love and exchange gifts as it is in the case of the three wise men to Christ, we should emulate those givers with cheerful hearts and also strive to be such ones that impact lives wherever we found ourselves.
Thank you
Your comment there, especially the first two paragraphs, remind me of what @tydynrain told @savvyplayer between their conversations !INDEED! 🤔🧘♂️🤯🤓😏 !HOPE !WEIRD !PIZZA

God bless you! As simple as that
Even the small kindness we show and doesn't count to be something looks huge in the eyes of the receiver. Only if we had knew how they felt
And you see those people who turned it to be a norm, they've actually made it difficult for people to render help to those who really needs the help
View more
You made a valid point here , Kenny.
Thanks Vanilla
Yes, that's true. Gifts or giving as a whole should be something you do willingly not coerced in some way because at the end you, you're supposed to feel happy about it not the other way after giving.
I'll take the food gift Kenny. Please tell me where to meet and collect my gift of food.🙂
Yes ooo Dave, not giving finish and you start thinking "if I had known"

Being harassed is one of the most awful things to experience. But I'm super glad someone came to the lady's aid.
Yeah actually. He was a savior
Well, I'm not the type to get pressured into doing things, so I just do the little I could and that's it.
Also, one of the most impactful kindness have seen was one that happened some years back when I was in the hospital. It was a time when all hope was lost and everything has been spent, sold and all. Then one evening, a good Samaritan came by, I was scheduled for an operation that day and we're still all about how to get the stuffs needed before time. The good Samaritan came and dropped something for me. That same day, one of my doc came by and brought almost all what was written for us that will be needed in theater room for me. It's a day I will forever remember. Well, I actually did same thing in the 25th of this month as well, that wa yesterday. Even though mine wasn't much, but I visited the hospital, bought few pills and saline water for some then reassured some.
That's it for me.

Showing same kindness in the little way you can is the best. Not about the quantity Millie, it's about the heart
Such kind words ☺️ ☺️, thanks momma 😘
I even thought of staying back, due to funds. But then, I just stepped out and say to myself, "just do what you can, when you have more, you will do more."
And I'm glad I did.

You've done your bit and given your widows mite.
It is the heart with which the gifts are given that matters.
You've also written your name in the sands of time. No matter how small.
The beneficiaries will have you to remember all the days of their lives just the same way the other men touched your live and impacted you when you needed such help.
More wins 🏆 in the coming years .
Definitely ma'am ☺️
Also, we shouldn't stop being and doing good. In whatever way we can, either small or big.
It will definitely pay off someday.

The small impactful act of kindness have experienced is the help someone offered me while I returned from one journey like that .
I boarded a vehicle that got faulty on our way, and the whole passengers were asked to alight and board another vehicle.
All of our money were refunded but how do we take our laugages to where we will board another vehicle.
I stood there for quite awhile imagining how I'll carry my things with my small hands and one good man offered to help.
he asked to pack it together with him and that's how to got to see another vehicle.
This help is something i can't get over
Cause if not for that man ehhh
Eeeiiii.....such a kind man.
I can very well relate with you though. I've experienced such before, but mine, the motor got faulty in the middle of the road, we highlighted and it was already getting dark. Not long after, a car came by and stopped, the man driving recognized one of the passengers that highlighted from our own car and stopped to carry him. As the man was about entering, he just beckoned on me to join in. Omo, I didn't even think it twice.
The kind of relief you will feel ehhh
Imagine if he didn't tag you along
You'll just be there stranded, and confused on what to do next.
Thank God for always bringing help our way when we need one.

gift are the best way to express kindness, gift mustn't be expensive just anything to portray love a way of celebrating or honoring those that have impacted our lives in one way or another, altho in most cases we could feel the pressure a sense of indebtedness to people who have helped us, but it shouldn't be
I recently place an order for some hand made palm slippers for my parents as a way of saying thankyou for seeing me through school expensive tho and I still owe a lot of persons too that are very dear to my heart, I mean this is one beautiful thing about Christmas right ✅?

Happy Sunday, fam.🥰
I just want to add that our generosity should not be influenced by external factors. Rather, it should come from the willingness to give from the heart. Also, there are different ways of showing love, whether by giving gifts, sacrificing our time to listen to others, being present on their big days, helping with the little and big things, these are all valid and we should learn to explore all of them with our loved ones.
Wishing you guys a lovely week ahead. Cheers.🫶
