Ahhhh the last day of November and it finally cold here in Texas. Okay it’s cold to us when it gets in the 60’s. Greg pulled all the fall items off the porch and packed them away in my fall box. I make sure it all fits into one box so that I don’t get stacks of things to go through every year. For me it’s one box, one hour and done. Same thing decorating for Christmas on my porch. Although I have to be honest it’s 3 boxes, but they are small.
The end of November finds me in a spot thinking about a few things. I was asked by a someone to do a piece of art work for someone special in their life. It was a very simple piece so I decided to do it because I had a bit of down time due to the surgery. It included a picture and a quote that has made me think about that quote for days. Just a few weeks ago someone at school gave me the same quote. I got it God pay attention. “I’m not a slave to fear I am a child of God” hmmmmmmm well lately I had let a few things in my life get to me and the fear of how those things will turn out. I needed to hear this quote and I need to trust my faith and the power of that faith in God. It’s very hard sometimes because we are people of fault after all and trusting is sometimes hard to stand on. Days before my surgery I had many fears and worries about everything from going under to waking up. God gave me peace so I could relax and trust he was there.
With the strike of midnight this month is gone. I, me, you and we will never get it back again. I have to ask myself did I get done all I wanted to? I’m not talking about laundry, house work, chores or even work stuff. I’m talking about family, friends and good deeds. I know I have left a few things unplugged and undone. Tis the season they say to do good for others, to give to the needy or help those less fortunate. So December is upon us and another month to change things not only for ourselves but for everyone around us. We don’t always have to pick a charity that is well-known we can find someone who you know needs help but has or will not ask for it. Help those with out them knowing, give to them with out the need to make it known. Sometimes the best reward is to help someone with out them knowing. If you sit back and watch it can fill your heart with joy.
I’m gonna make it priority to find someone who needs help during this season. Really it isn’t hard to find someone you just have to set yourself aside, raise your head, open your eyes and they are there. There are people in all communities hurting and wanting to feel loved by someone. I think everyone deserves to be Blue Happy this season.
