I have to admit, I am tired already this morning thinking about how my life will go today. Moving all day, potential city stopping blizzard on the way, no idea if we will even have time for dinner. I got a good night's sleep last night, so I do feel ready for this. But some other part of me wants to be home on a snowy Saturday and do next to nothing besides build my relationships with my family and wrap Christmas presents.
And then God talked to me this way...
I looked at a friend's blog...
Then I was linked to this one... (The best name ever, by the way)
Then I found this post," Seeing Past What It Seems".
Now, I am not saying that my business today is in any way on the magnitude of this woman's life. Her story is both heartbreaking and joyful. But this post brought me to tears. Her, and her husbands, ability to work through what had happened to them is beyond any words I can come up with.
Today I am going to take the time to look past the obvious and see past what it seems. I am going to look into peoples eyes and say "Happy Holidays", and REALLY mean it. And I am going to try to notice these little signs of struggle AND ask if the people I know need help.
Thank you God for putting it outside of me.
