We are all qualified. If your church doesn't need your particular skill set - pray about it and find a place that needs you and where you can be used. Each of us has a job to do and we need to be actively working. I heard from a dear friend today who asked to minister to others in his church. He had a very willing spirit and didn't want anything in exchange. No one was interested enough to help him grow. Don't let others steal your joy! Don't let others hold you back! Let God rule your life and don't listen to those who try to curb your desire.
" Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood." - Helen Keller We all suffer but some of us go through more trials than others. I believe to be the best you can be - you have to fight against those struggles. If Helen Keller who was struck blind and deaf at age two graduated from college in 1904, can we afford to let our challenges hinder us to the point we give up?! I think not. If we are overcomers - and most of us are - then we will succeed no matter what our circumstances. It may take some of us longer but we will get there. I read that it took 25 years for Helen to learn to speak so others could understand her. Helen advocated for the welfare of blind people, and in 1915 she partnered with George Kessler and co-founded Helen Keller International. Did you know she helped found the American Civil Liberties Union or that she wrote a book? Take that first step today. If you could do any thing, what would you aspire...
Spending time with family today renewed my tranquility. Seeing the joy on my daughter's face as we play is priceless, and talking...really communicating with my son today brought me such joy. I know not everyone has that so I treasure these special moments all the more. Today is a day that I will treasure and hold dear. When I am old, it will give me a pleasant memory to ease with the changes. When my husband looked at me and said, "it makes me happy when you smile", I understood. He is at peace when I am. A happy household is something that cannot be bought. It has to be worked at, proven, and cherished. May our lives continue to have peace and happiness.
