This post is a little bit different than the rest I usually do. I have had the opportunity to be on both sides of things. We have been the helpers and the helped. Recently I have been in contact with a few different people that have shared their experiences mostly with cancer but with other life altering situations as well. Everyone has some form of battle they are fighting it may be cancer,illness, loneliness,addictions, and the list can go on forever. To walk around amidst all our sorrows and sins with plastic smiles on our faces would be a lie. So I am not saying this because we should walk around ashamed or sorrowful but I am saying this because the things that we have been through have changed the way we look at life forever. I can not be still and know someone close to us needs help or at least an encouraging word. We have been helped and blessed by many and we are forever grateful. People have rallied around us through so many ways,visits,treats,prayers,cards,chicken , trees,and the list can go on forever. There are websites after websites of the top 5,10,100 things to do to help people who are sick or hurting. There are some awesome ideas but by far the best thing is to just do something. If people are anything like us they are not going to ask people to do anything so if you know of a need no matter how big or tiny fill it. Lastly I will add another few song choices we love but words that we say can make or break someone so please be careful and think about yourself being in their shoes before you speak. The Lord knows we are not perfect but he forgives and helps us anyway so do the same for each other. Thank you all
