I think that oftentimes, we all go through our own personal "pity" parties. There are various and sundry reasons why, but suffice to say there are those days that each of us have that no one else has, no one else would understand, no one else cares, and no one else can help us with. I have those days and so do you, but.......................
When we put the ruler up to measure our problems, I was reminded today by that still small voice....comparatively speaking....I don't have any problems. I have a wonderful, loving, and healthy family. I have a great, good paying job with a respected company. I have healthcare, stock options, and a pension. I have a nice home and nice furnishings. Basically, I have everything I need and just about every thing I want. So do you!
It's a tough world around us right now and many are suffering. People have lost their jobs and in many cases, have little or no hope of replacing their income. With lost jobs, comes so many other problems...too numerous to mention. Not only that, but there are people that you and I both know that have health issues that we don't have.
God just reminded me that I need to "pay it forward." I am going to look for a way this week to put "feet" on my prayers and find someone that I can help in a tangible way. I don't want anything in return...no thanks, no praise....I just want to be a vehicle that God uses to show someone else how much He loves each of us.
I hope you will do the same!
