Good Morning and Good New Week to you!
As the weather vacillates between summer and autumn – one day warm winds and another a cool chill in the air – we are able to stand strong with a few adaptations. We may require a jacket or to remove one as the wind stills and the sun shines upon us.
Often the wind blows in our lives and feel the need for safety, protection and “jacket” ourselves with a variety of things. Sometimes it is isolation, pushing away others; losing self in food, old movies or even shopping. None of those, however, will culminate in a new dawn of hope and determination.
“Jacket” yourself in the truth and at least one trusted friend. Often, in these times, we don’t see clearly without another to reflect back to us… even believing we “know” in our minds is often in error at those times…. We are hurt or afraid and need a hand not to push away others, but to embrace and be embraced.
Today – if someone has been treating you a bit differently or acting “out of sorts.” Extend your hand and a smile that welcomes… you may be the first to do so and it may be all they needed to be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel or to renew hope and faith.
1 Thessalonians 5:11Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
Lend a hand today, looking out from our busy-ness, my friend, and surely your time will be well spent.
