From the Heart
The rain is falling, the thunder rolls, the lightning flashes and I am sitting on my porch enjoying it. As I sit here, I look around me and I see so much. I see houses of different sizes, colors, and maybe some need repairs, but they all have one thing in common, it's a home. I see the trees and plants and look at their size and think even these have a purpose, some may be food for animals or maybe a home for another or even just color to brighten our day, but all of them reflect who the Lord is, He is the Creator of all things and made all things for His Glory.
All includes us. Over the past few days I have been thinking about how God created each person different. We all have a story to tell and not one story is the same but there is one thing in common, that is, God created us. He gave us life for His glory.
Don't let what others may have or others say about you rob you from what you know is true and from what God is doing in your life right now. It's easy to say things such as...If you only had...you should...or we need to...sometimes such comments discourage us rather than encourage. We aren't here to discourage people, but instead encourage one another, love one another, pray for one another. Imagine what our world would look life if humanity lived this out. Mother Teresa once said, “I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things.”
Together we can pray, we can encourage, we can love and through all these things reflect who Christ is. Think about the people in your life. Who needs encouragement, who needs prayer, who needs love and an act of kindness? Go and bless others as the Lord has blessed you.

"Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile."
- Mother Teresa
