Made for more...

Great post over at Fields of Gold. Encouraging us to get on the right train of thought.

To have a friend, BE a friend. Good advice, learnt, but not always followed in the lonely days, many years ago. This is also true: To be encouraged: ENCOURAGE OTHERS. I find that so true.

So, as this New Year pulls out of the station, building up steam for the weeks and months ahead:
Look 
OUT towards others,not in at myself.
UP towards God, not down into my own troubles.
THROUGH thoughtless comments or unkind words to see a hurting person behind the facade.
BEYOND my momentary troubles to things of eternal significance.
Look.
