Today I am thankful for.....#5

#that I can be a blessing to others. It makes me feel good inside. I have a friend that lives in WI and she just had a little girl. She needed some bottles but things were kind of tight financially and so I sent her 5 bottles. It was a blessing to her and it made me feel good. I think sometimes we get so wrapped up in our daily lives that we forget to be a blessing to someone else. Sometimes it can be overwhelming. Maybe you volunteered to be a blessing and ended up in over your head. But once it is said and done, you feel good that you did something for someone else. Even if it is within your own family. It makes us feel good when we do nice things for our kids. Even if it meant taking time out of your busy day to do something fun with them. You are not only being a great parent but you are being a blessing.
I think I am going to challenge myself to find a way to be a blessing to someone at least once a day!

I think you are so right that we get caught up in our own bubbles. I am always saying how busy I am and I have lots of excuses for why and people that will enable that about me, too. It is so important to serve others-thanks for the thought!
