The only way on earth to multiply happiness is to divide it. - Paul Scherer
Greetings Readers!
Let's face it, times are hard right now. VERY hard. Unemployment is at an all time high. People are losing their homes and jobs faster than the media can keep up with. It seems no one is exempt from the turmoil going on in society today.
For me, the issue is being under employed. I'm currently attending college to gain new skills but the reality is that even with these new skills it will be a challenge to find better employment.
I have my days (today in fact) when I feel like giving up. My wife has had similar bouts with this all consuming depression – we all have – but it's times like these when we must remain faithful and prayerful (in a manner in which we are ALREADY receiving) to make it through these rough waters.
But how do you do it? How do you keep your focus on the light at the end of the tunnel when it seems the closer you get the smaller that beacon becomes? It's no simple task…Neither is it impossible.
Regardless of what's going on around us there is a feeling deep inside that reminds us that things will get better if only we weather the storm just a little bit longer. You can call this knowing
by whatever name you like but acknowledge it. Seek it out. Listen to it. It WILL guide you through.
As suggested in the quote above it's imperative that we show one another kindness now more than ever before. Help a stranger on the street. Volunteer in your community. Be nice to that relative that everyone loves to hate.
I challenge everyone to share a little happiness with at least three people that they may not have considered doing so with before. Spread the light of love and watch as it blossoms in both the giver and the recipient.
By doing this we honor our primary purpose to be of service to one another and maybe gain a little more energy to make it through another day.
Have a PERFECT day!
