I have recently been thrown into a tornado of activity. I am getting an option to run a daycare, move into a bigger house and try to complete my paperwork. It is awesome, scary and fast paced.
The last month or so has gone by so fast. But during the whirlwind of my prayers being answered I have seen constant reminders to be thankful.
1. Hurricane.... We kept our power.
2. Friends son who is only three has a brain tumor.
3. My lady who teaches CPR her daughter was hit by a car and was in critical condition.
4. A friends husband is ill and they are having a hard time financially.
Thing is, when life is going smoothly we are all waiting for the other shoe to drop. The dramatic event to take away the very joy we are now experiencing. Then we feel guilty or sad when we hear the bad things that are happening to others but we shouldn't.
If anything I am urging people to focus on one thing in your life when it is going well. We need to focus on the fact that it is smooth sailing. Things are well and we have beautiful things in our lives. Yes we should pray and feel emotions towards others tragedies but we do not have to feel guilty. One day we will be faced with tragic events or turbulent moments, we have all been there. We need to appreciate the positive moments and support and give love to those who are struggling. Pray and give whatever you can, emotional or financial, prayers, guidance, whatever. Give something of yourself, whatever you can.
Be generous every day of your life with love, and whatever else you can give of yourself, financial, spiritual, emotional, etc. Be generous.
