When Others Are Hurting -

Monday Morning Thoughtful Thoughts

It's Normal To Want To Fix It

When Others Are Hurting

We want to reach out and make it all go away.

Not all of our loved ones are in our family circle

Not all are close by, down the street, across town or just a short drive away.

Often we have left loved ones miles away where we were once connected

And shared our designated time together

As our [life] paths crossed for a time

A few months or

For years.

We still carry them in our hearts

And like our own brothers, sisters or children

That place in our hearts is still

Reserved-

Permanently for that friend.

As with our own children when they were young

We ache to be able to make the hurt go away

As though it never was

Of Course only Jesus Christ our Lord can do that

but we want them to know-We would if we could.

So many questions when these things happen-

How can people who are so loved and adored,

Cherished

Look away, even a moment and make choices that forever change and affect lifes

Of course the bottom line goes back to

S e l f

Me

How can human beings so blessed -

take hearts entrusted to them and often thoughtlessly trash them

Discard,

Ignore

Trample

We then have to ponder this question:

How Christ, God, Our Savior-Creator and giver of all that is good

Feels

when we do the same

Turn our backs on Him

Forget

Discard

Trample

Walk Away From

Him?

My friend, loved one,  wherever you are-

I wish I could

Make it all go away as though it never happened even.

BLINDS

And while we usually cannot fix anything
We can share our love and concern
and pray faithfully.
