Change For a Dollar
Someone sent me an awesome video that is especially appropriate for this season of Thanksgiving: "Is he asking for Change, or is he asking for CHANGE? Follow a man as he affects multiple peoples' lives with just one dollar, proving that it doesn't take much to be the change in someone's life. Written and directed by Sharon Wright."
Something to ponder... Whatever our gifts are, how much do we use them towards positive change in others?

Every Household Has Its Hidden Pain
This has been heavy on my heart since I went to a writing conference this past week. There are people out there who need us. People who are hurting. Some speak up about it and others don't. And that's why I need to write, not just to people who are visibly needing the comfort, but also to those who creep along behind the scenes. People who are afraid of being judged. People who think their thoughts don't count. People who are smiling on the outside but crying on the inside.
Are you one of those people? Do you feel insignificant and alone? Please know that God cares. He cares about every secret tear you shed, every hidden hurt you carry, every unbearable burden you bear.
Here are some nuggets of truth I hope will encourage you today:
- Do you feel burdened? "My soul is weary of sorrow; strengthen me according to Your Word." Psalm 119:28
- Jesus invites us - "Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matt. 11:28
- God is powerful and always keeps His promises. He has promised - "The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms." Deut. 33:27a
God already knows your pain, but have you ever talked with Him about it?
What pain will you unburden to God today?
