Just Sharing

For some reason last week took off at an amazing pace leaving us vainly struggling to keep up. But what a week it’s been! First we are preparing to go to Florida this weekend to celebrate the Christening of our grandson and my husband was also preparing for a week of convention at Trinity Pentecostal Church of God, 1109 Burke Ave in the Bronx. Friday the 11^th was youth rally in Bridgeport, our church, so of course we had to be there. Saturday night the 12^th we were in New Jersey at their ingathering rally, and today of course, in convention. One of the today’s highlights was spending time with our cousin Aunt Yvonne whom we have not seen in years. She is so much like Mom — which means she kills the fatted calf at the drop of a hat.

All of this only makes us grateful for the connections we have, both spiritual and familial. It also highlights how mush as humans we depend on the care and loving support of those around us. Not just in bad times but on an everyday basis. Which reminds me of a book given to me last week called, “We Carry Each Other” by Eric and Sharon Langshur. It talks about all the simple things we all can do to help others get through the tough times in life.

This week don’t wait for a book, or a special teaching or even tough times, to show love and appreciation or lend your strength to someone. Smile, laugh, listen to someone share a funny story. It does not sound like much but you may be the only person in days or even longer to give some lonely person a sense of significance. Get down to a child’s level to give them a hug and watch their eyes light up.
