Hard Times
We all have our hard days and hard times. Lately, it seems like there is so much that it's hard to not think about it. It's always pressing on my mind, always something I have to try to deal with, forget or figure out. What I hate most about it is how shut off I become because of it. I shut myself off from family and friends, trying to deal with everything.
Today I had a wonderful blessing in my life. A friend with sick kids, asked for my help....simple nothing, just picking things up from the store, but very helpful for me. For a moment, I got relief from my problems...a break, a chance to breathe. Instead of dealing with my own, for a moment, I got to help with someone else's. And when I had to come back to my world...things seemed a little bit lighter, and a little bit easier. There are still things that I must deal with, but at least I have a fresh mind and heart to try once again.
I know they say that service helps to lighten our burdens but I never felt it as much today. I might not be able to talk about all my problems with my friends but at least I can find relief in helping them out. So thank you Stacy for giving me the chance to serve you today and for the help that it's given me.
