I've been having a hard time week.
Well, actually the first part of the week I was doing pretty good and on Wednesday I was thinking how lucky I really was. I have a great husband (really, just one of the best ever), an awesome family, we have a house that we love, we have a sweet little puppy to greet us everynight after work, and we both have good jobs.
But then, I started thinking. Thinking of all of the hardships other people are dealing with, illness, legal problems, troubled relationships, and I started felt really guilty. Why should I have such a wonderful life, when other people, good people, are dealing with such tough times? I've just been feeling down the past couple days, and I can't really say 'oh its because I'm feeling bad for less fortunate people' because I don't know if I'm consciously thinking that. I've just been feeling sad & unmotivated & just want to curl up in my jammies in bed.
I hope today that I can bring myself out of this funk. I want to keep working on this project & maybe that's exactly what my February project is all about. Maybe I need to show my gratefulness for all of the good in my life, by helping others that aren't having as good as time right now. I just need to figure out how.
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 1 Peter 4:10
