Sometimes We Just Need a Reminder

Many things happen in our life and we wonder "why me?"  I am a very positive, happy, and energetic woman.  I have a strong faith in Jesus Christ.  But let's face it - we can all get down from time to time.
It seems like, if you are really paying attention, we often get a reminder.  A reminder that someone else could be suffering more and need help.  Or maybe we should take the focus off of ourself and use it for a better cause.
It all started with turning on the radio on Monday.  Make a difference Monday happens on KLove every single Monday.  They were discussing a book titled, Same Kind of Different as Me, by Ron Hall and Denver Moore.  On and on they went about how life changing the book is.  Of course, I love to read, so it didn't take much for me to hit the book store that day!  I'm not really going to go in to what the book is about, I'm just going to encourage you to pick up a copy.  I actually bought two copies and gave one to my daughter.  Our pact - read it and pass it along to someone.  What I will tell you - is about page 100 the tears started falling and didn't stop until the end.  At times, I couldn't even see the page because the tears were so heavy!  It is a very easy read, and not only will you cry, you will also laugh.  Out loud.  I finished the book in two days because I could not put it down any longer than necessary.
Going through tough times is part of life.  How we shine through the situation, what sustains us, how we love others - even in our down times, is huge!
Pick up a copy.  Or two.  Let me know what you think!
