To Inspire:

I have a friend (in his early 60’s) who is struggling with some chronic health issues. They have compromised his balance to the point that he is falling frequently and now needs a walker. When I ask him how he’s doing, he always says fine and redirects the conversation to his mother and the care he is providing to her. It’s clear that he sees the opportunity to minister to her as a blessing in his own life and I can tell that his efforts on her behalf (which are substantial) take his focus off his own suffering as he strives to alleviate hers.

Serving and loving others is a wonderful way to take our minds off our own challenges and struggles. Sacrificing our time and our priorities for someone else can become a source of joy and gratitude – for them and for us.

Who in your life needs some of your time and care? Reach out – be there for them; even if only to listen.

Let’s keep our focus on others – it’s key to a great life for them and for ourselves.

Have a great weekend!!
