Where have I seen all of that before?
And I realize then that I see it every day. I see it when a coworker pauses to offer a kind word to someone having a hard day—a little morsel of encouragement that’s gobbled up with gratitude. I see it when my friend wraps her arms around her oh-so-tired little one and sees past the crankiness to the silent request for comfort and rest. I see it when a stranger on the street flashes a smile like an unexpected bit of chocolate tossed my way.
If I were with you now, I know I’d see it too. You’re feeding someone today. Who is the hungry heart in your life? Oh, what you do may feel small. It may feel unseen. But it matters. It’s noticed by the one who said, “And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is My disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward."
Just in case no one has told you lately, I want to whisper this: Thank you for what you do. Thank you for feeding the hungry in your life in your own amazing way.
The fall wind feels like a whisper around us today, winter is on it's way ....And so it goes—round and round. Giving, receiving, in need, meeting needs too. Are you meeting someone's need today, maybe just in writing them and saying "I love you , your not alone, or I forgive you , let's repair our friendship, life it too short to be angry , unforgiving , bitter ~ We are all going to the same place we better get along here on earth ....let's shed off our masks and be filled with compassion and love this day .... and keep feeding the hungry .....
Until we’re all so very full.
