I was sick and you visited Me

Life can get hectic and we can easily forget those that are sick around us. We stop only long enough to tell them we hope they feel better and maybe say a little prayer in passing or thanksgiving for our own health. What a great opportunity we are missing to serve others!  Whether we simply take soup to a friend with a cold or sit with someone who is facing a major illness- the opportunity to be a blessing is all around us. Physically, we all get sick from time to time, but many people around us are hurting both spiritually and emotionally.  These can be feelings of loneliness, or questions of self- worth. Sometimes, all it takes is an encouraging word to put someone back on track.  This week open your eyes the people that are closest to you and see were you can lend an encouraging word or deed!
