If the above doesn't ring true today, I don't know how. I think about being out with my son who because of an eye disease cannot drive himself or his family anywhere. He is going through some problems now that would seemingly threaten his world if he did not believe and trust in his heavenly Father. We take him to his doctor appointments or on errands he needs to do and thankfully can do that for him. Whenever I am with him in a grocery or other store, despite his own problems, he never fails to speak kindly to the cashier or even to other patrons he might see there. Offering silly simple jokes or thanking someone in the military or a policeman for their service or just to tell someone to have a nice day. He is just that kind of person.
Would it be that despite our own problems we could be that type of person when we are out and about, to offer someone a smile just to maybe lighten their day which even though we have no knowlege of, but maybe make them glad they ran in to someone that cared enough to show them a little bit of light or perhaps hope for a better day?
Is it too much of ourselves to forget what we might have left at the door of our home to make someone feel a bit better? I think not. For even that little bit we do can show our care for someone else.
Why? Because......
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.1 Peter 5:6-7
Sometime Friends, in the storms we face whether they don't come often for some but others just seem to live in them, knowing that God cares for us can be all we have.
But let me tell you, the thing is, knowing that is all we really need.
Thanks for coming by today, Friends. Have a blessed day!
