Sometimes along the way in our lives we may meet certain people that are facing so many difficulties and situations..for some it’s their health and they battle daily with it..and they fight to stay and remain hopeful and remain joyful through their adversities that they’re facing..and as I meet these certain people..I myself feel really shameful that I complain at times about little things that I deal with or face along the way in my life..and it honestly stops me dead in my tracks to look up into the face of the Lord and ask for forgiveness..for we all think that our lives are the hardest at times until as I said you meet a mother that’s lost her son through a tragedy…or you meet that husband that has lost his wife unexpectedly through a sickness that she never knew she had..so the husband is left with their babes to raise on his own..and left without his precious wife to be by his side…so as I meet and I look around me and my life..and I see people and I see what they face my eyes are opened..cause It’s kind of funny at how we get blinded and we get off course as to what life is all about…we live in our own so called little world and we only do as much as we feel the need to do..we never go above and beyond..we never honestly appreciate them things in our lives that others only dreamed and wished they still had..so today be thankful for your ability to walk..to talk..to have a sound mind..to have a spouse if your still privileged enough to say you have yours…be thankful for your children..for your grand babies..be thankful for your home..your health..the clothes on your back…the shoes on your feet…be thankful for the food that’s on your table and in your refrigerator..always and forever be thankful and content with your life..and all of them privileges that you have and are able to use in your life..for some they’d give anything to have what you have..so don’t let your life blind you…don’t let the tiny problems that you may face keep you from seeing all that the Lord has done for you and your life..for you are blessed…and you are blessed abundantly by the hands of God..for the bible says that every good and perfect gift comes from the Lord..James 1:17..and that in all things we are to be thankful and content..for godliness with contentment is of a great gain..1 Timothy 6:6..for there is always someone that is facing so much more than we could ever imagine..so yet once again be kinder than necessary for it is so true everyone we will ever meet is fighting some kind of battle..whether within themselves..or whether within their life…either way we all face things and go through things..but it is so much better when you face them with kind and caring, loving people..so spread the joy of the Lord..shine His light unto everyone that you may meet along the way..and always give a kind word…a helping hand..and maybe a pat on the back..for them little things they honestly do speak volumes..so give away what you’ve been given..for all that we have are gifts, so let us make sure that were using ours..and using them for the Lord..for someone out there needs what we have to give to them…and sometimes it is that they only need a listening ear…so make sure that we  listen as well for in listening we sure do learn a lot..In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
