Heart Strokes

What is on your mind?

I sat down intending to blog about our home.  We moved one year ago today.  I remember sitting out front the night before our closing just looking at our new home.  Just one year later and I've lost much of the appreciation for it.  That ashames me and I plan to change that.

 

I've decided that it is not what I should blog about though.  While I've been thinking about how I've neglected this gift God has bestowed on us there are others out there hurting. 

 

In this blog there is a tribute to a beautiful baby named Lily that never had the chance to hear her Momma's voice outside of the womb. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Vanderclan/160499/#c299572 

 

I just read a prayer request for four young soldiers injured protecting my very lively hood.  They are too injured to even come home to receive proper medical care.

 

My sister in law and brother and law just got back from Africa.  There is so much pain and suffering.  For such a minimal inconvenience we could make such a lasting improvement in the lives of  these people created in God's image, but do we?  http://www.bloodwatermission.com

 

I can't even tell you how selfish I feel.  What has been on my mind all night?  What have I been thinking about?  I've been thinking about the past year and how much I would change if I had it to do all over again.  What are other people thinking about?  What are others hurting about?  I need to be thinking about them and praying for them.

 

What are you thinking about?

wow, can't believe it's been a year already since you moved! Great blog entry, I had one of those days yesterday where I was just a selfish brat all day. You are so right about the need to become others focused and not self focused. How easy it is for us to wallow in our own "despair" and rarely is it true desparation. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Wow! I can so relate!

I kind of got to this exact place this week end.

Grateful for what I have, and trying not to focus on what I don't have.

God will give us what we need, what is sufficient. We need to keep our eyes on that.

What an awesome reminder. Your blog blessed me today! Thanks!
