It is so nice to have some sort of routine again and get caught up on the blog world too. I missed it!
For me thinks this week I found this paragraph from my new favorite book called
It made me think and made me realize that there is so much good we can do and so many opportunities to help others and be a positive influence on others.
IT SAYS:
" The dedicated life is a life worth living."
Find something to love with all your heart.
Discover what inspires your biggest dreams.
Seek out a challenge that will create positive change, speaks of your purpose and makes a difference in the world.
Throw yourself into something to believe in, that asks for your very best. We are here not only for ourselves, we are here to add to the sum of human goodness.
A good life is not lived by chance by by choice.
We can be wise from goodness, and good from wisdom.
Each person brings into this world a unique contribution, and each day comes full of possibilities.
All we need is time and opportunity; there is no such thing as an unimportant day. Our possibilities live as we live, and each one of us can bring hope and beauty to the world. Go out and find where people hold their potential and meet them there. Be not only good for yourself, but the cause of goodness in others. Inspiration and contribution go hand in hand.
" All who have meant good work with their whole heart have done good work."
Begin with life as you find it and make it better.... anytime is a good time to do good.

There are so many people that I have met and have yet to meet that are so inspiring and do so much for others and keep giving and giving unselfishly even when they are suffering. It amazes me that some people are just so giving and would do anything for you.
It makes me what to do more and be more.

BUT WHAT DO WE DO??
There are about so many people I know of right now who are going through such horrible heart wrenching trials of health and pain and sadness.
What do you do for these people? Its on my mind so much
do you send a card? just pray for them? What can we do?
What have you appreciated in times of crisis or needs or just somebody who had been thinking of you and followed a feeling and did something about it ? What makes a difference?
Some of you who read this blog know the people that I'm talking about or are those people I'm talking about.
What do you like for people to do for you when you are having a hard trial? I never know the right things to say or do in times when people are spending their days in the hospital or finding out one diagnosis after another.
I have a friend from Florida who is dying she had breast cancer which was in remission but later turned into brain cancer and liver cancer and she has two beautiful little children and a husband. I think about her a lot but never know the right things to write or something or anything to do about it.
Lately my prayers are long there are so many people suffering. So many going through so much right now.
I guess it comes down to doing something good for someone is worth more then words sometimes no matter what it is.
Fill each day with life and heart. There is no pleasure in the world comparable to the delight and satisfaction that a good person takes in doing good.

I have to get this book. LOVE it!! You are so inspiring Christal! Thanks for being the bright spot in my day today!! :) I want to do and be more too!!!
You always find the best books! Love your me thinks Monday's. SUre gets me thinking too. The only thing I can say about what to do for others is this "No matter what you do....smile, send a card, cry or laugh with them....send an e-mail......it just all means that YOU are thinking of them. That's what counts. 'I was thinking of you today.' That's the message I send." And it's a message someone gave to me. It goes a LONG way!
Thanks for the website! Cool stuff!
This was a great post. I too never know what I should do for sure or what to say. I usually make a treat and take it to someone and just tell them I was thinking about them. I know that people just want to know that people are thinking about them. Thanks for your inspiration!
