There are many days when I think I could be no happier. The goodness of God and His blessings for me are so pleasing that I can only rejoice. There are so many reasons that this flood of joy fills my heart and mind. I can't help but think though, in those moments, that "when the sun is shining down on me and the world(my world) is all as it should be" that for someone else "sorrows like sea billows" are rolling. I can rejoice today and I know that I will not be in want of someone to join me, but in the middle of that can I join in someone elses sorrow?
Today, as I'm peacefully going about my day, one of my closest friends is sitting beside husband and his very ill mother. I think that I have joy in order to share it with my suffering friend as I hope that she would share hers with me.
This is going to be a short post and a bit sad, I think, but I'm again reminded that I'm in this world for more than my own enjoyment and that I must join in the struggles of those around me.
It's hard to see people you love leave this world. Even harder for those that are closest.
