I wish I could sleep, but I cant help thinking...What would the world be like if we put others before ourselves? Last month, I was supposed to answer the thankfulness challenge. I thought about it and thought about it...until the point that I became frustrated that I couldnt write out what I was thankful for because I was so focused on the things that irritated me. And I thought, How did I end up here? Well, it was a continued path of inward self-focus instead of outward action for others. Its been many years since Ive journaled, but I have to admit that when I did write out my thoughts and prayers for others, it gave me perspective. Its so easy to get caught up in our day-to-day lives; to only consider Me, me, me. Yet, when we consider the life we live compared to the life sacrificed for us...how do we have anything to complain about?!? Our lives may not be perfect, they may not have ended up as we planned or excepted, but we have a lot to be thankful for! Most of all, Im thankful for my loving, compassionate, and supportive husband! (Hes had to put up with a lot of grumpy Sarah moments over the past five years, but Im so glad that he chooses to love me through it!) I hope you can take a moment to reflect on the good in your life, and the joy you can bring to others!
