Troubles

What troubled you yesterday is in the past
What troubles you today you can act upon
What troubles you tomorrow depends on today

Prioritize your troubles, whatever they are
Do something to impact them in a positive way.

And if you can’t find peace in knowing it’s in Gods Hands
Seek out someone with more troubles than you.

They are easy to find, look in parks, hospitals, shelters
Under bridges, in the woods, at church, your next door neighbor
Look for someone who may just need someone to talk to.

Then listen, and listen some more, and soon you’ll realize
You are not alone in your troubles, most outweigh yours
And when you look at it that way, your troubles will fade

A needy soul was comforted, and you enriched yours as well.
It doesn’t take money, it doesn’t take fame
It just takes a little of your time

Time well spent and time that will not be forgotten.
And many years later when your troubles are few
Remember the day you had so many they crashed around you

Count your blessings and give out a little good cheer
For nothing in this world is more gratifying
Then helping a down trodden soul lift its spirit.

Go in Peace and those that hate will fall on their own swords.

In His Service:
