We will never truly know the trials that others are facing. We may think we do, but often we know only what they are willing to show or tell us. We all have experiences to share and often times those same experiences can yield different emotions for different people. So, in speaking to groups I often challenge them to stop trying to put themselves in other's shoes and to focus on helping others to put themselves in God's hands. After all it is there that we find comfort and often times find ourselves. While we can't fix everything or everyone we can think about the opportunities we have to support, encourage and be there in those times of need. We can't fully assess all the experiences that led to the moment, but we can influence that moment by being willing to be the ear they need, the shoulder they want and to lend the faith they may lack. We have all been in that position where it is the blessings God places all around us that helps us continue the journey, and appreciating them is to be that same blessing when we are called upon to do so.
Believe in the Unbelievable that is YOU and have a blessed day.
