It Takes a Little Time

Life gets busy and it makes it difficult sometimes to make room for the things that are important to us. It takes a little time…it takes making the time.

time, time is a gift from God, God, Jesus, faith, hope, family, relationships

I was reading today and came across this scripture: Do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased. (Hebrews 13:16.) It served to remind me of what is important in my life at this time, which is best defined in another scripture. 2 Corinthians 1:3&4 says, Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulations, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

I like this. It is perhaps the only way that I can cope with, make sense of and come to terms with the ordeals of life (due to our choices) brings our way.

I practice gratitude everyday. It is what empowers us to move on. It is often a stretch to find something to be grateful for but today I am grateful for life’s experiences…all of them, the good, the bad and the ugly. They have enabled me to get outside of myself and live differently in a me-focused world.

The things I am choosing to do each day are centered around bringing comfort to those who are suffering because of the hardships in life, and in spite of them. It’s easy to get caught up in the busy-ness, making it a little harder to focus on gratitude, but it just takes a little time.

    Meagan,
    So sorry to hear about your loss. Heaven’s gain is indeed your mother’s gain as well. The difficulty remains with those of us who are left behind to deal with the empty places our loved ones once filled. May you continue to find comfort in our Lord, family and friends, memories and the legacy your mother left you.

    Blessings,
    Laurie

    Hi Laurie-Thanks for this post! The scripture in I Corinthians has been on my mind lately. I lost my mom 3 weeks ago. Well, let’s say Heaven gained her. And anyway, I know that I was comforted through the prayers of others and knowing the faith my mom had, was comforting, and gave much peace. I know I will be able to bring comfort through the Bible and prayer as well as putting my feet and hands to help others. Thank you for sharing your faith! I am new to twitter/this blog etc. Have a blessed day!!!
