Living Beyond Ourselves 

I was pondering this morning as I looked over my schedule for the day and thought of how we get so caught up in our own circumstances & situations we face sometimes that we miss opportunities to be able to be a blessing to others that may also be in need and probably worse than us. Our love for God should compel us to serve others regardless of what is going on in our lives. Sometimes that requires for us to look beyond ourselves, no matter how busy we may be and reach out to someone who may be in need. I proceeded this morning to drop off my children at their school and went to the gym for my morning exercise.
