I read this question on someone’s blog today: How old do you think you would be if you did not know how old you really are?
Today I think I am ancient. This world just makes me ache for all the pain and sorrow we inflict upon each other. For no good reason other than we can.
Life is short people. Be good to one another. Love one another. Make someone smile-make someone feel like they are 7 years old today and that the world is a pretty neat place to be.
Sometimes it is just that simple. We cannot chase death away or cure the body or make everything okay in someone’s world. But we can pass on the unbelievable love that God has for us all. And that can make anything just easier to bear.
So I am asking you my friends:Who can you reach out to? Someone-somewhere needs to hear from you. Are you listening?

Oh, I like that question. I would be old today, too, honey. Just went and bought some new shoes. That should pick me up, but between a friend’s funeral yesterday and the news of this week, I was sobbing by the time I carried my DSW bag into the house. You’re right, though, that bringing a smile to someone else makes us instantly just a bit younger.
