Compassion -Prince of Peace Day #3

One of the assignments for today was send a card to somebody.  I am cheating because I got the response today.  

This one kind of it home today.  I found out through Facebook about a family member who was going through a difficult time.   Last week I felt inspired to send her an Easter card with a gift card for gas.  It wasn't a big deal to me but I felt it needed to be done.  I haven't been incredible close to my sibling in laws and stuff like this kind of stresses me out.  But I listened and I did it. 

Today she sent me this touching text about how thankful she was and how the gift card came at the perfect time.  

It was one of those situations where it truly wasn't me who came up with the idea to send this gift card and I actually put it off for several days before I did it because "the still small voice" was getting louder and more annoying.  

It isn't hard to show compassion.  (okay well sometimes it is)  The truth is we are all just going through life for the most part trying to do the best we can with what we have.

This week was a Struggle

This has been a tough week. I worked some extra hours which were only five hour shifts but were still were time away from the kids.

School starts Tuesday and comments about how people hope my kids dont kill their teachers with COVID is neither helpful or accurate. Plus we had a budget meeting after months of no meetings. In which we found out that we had once again over spent in August. Which could have been stopped if we would have known earlier in the month. I sent $1500 to student loans. Andrew turned eight yesterday and I am so thankful for him. He is become such a deep thinker and asks these amazing questions that I don't always have the answers to. The meds have helped slow him down but he is still crazy Andrew. We upped the medications and it was like he was on speed. He couldn't sleep and was kind of zombie like. Then there has been a few moments wher

The one you feed...

A few weeks ago Lee text me this story.  One evening, an elderly cherokee brave told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. he said "my son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. one is evil. it is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. the other is good. it is joy, peace love, hope serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." the grandson though about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "which wolf wins?..." the old cherokee simply replied, "the one that you feed"  One I have heard 100 times but one that I needed at that moment although I didn't know it.  There have been several situations that have happened these past few weeks and I keep thinking of that story and I have to remind myself which wolf I am feeding. There
