We can’t do it alone, we all need help on the journey.

Recently I saw a post from someone NOT on my facebook friend list who seemed so sad and broken. It hit me like it always does how lonely we truly are.

I struggled a little as I thought about whether or not I had the right to reach out to her. Why did I struggle? If I was hurting wouldn’t I want someone, anyone to reach out to me? Why do we do that? How did we move so far from compassion and care that we can see someone hurting and still wonder if we should help?

Life is not a journey meant to be traveled alone. We all need help, we need someone to give us a hand when we fall. It’s been said, “no man’s an island” so don’t live like it, open your eyes look around. See a need…then meet it.

So what am I thankful for today? I am thankful that I am learning to see needs that are not mine.
