The struggles of these last few years have taken their toll on me, and if you don't know what struggles I'm talking about...well, then I guess you don't need to. Anyway, I am not beyond feeling sorry for myself even if I do try to avoid it.
Recently, I have started giving an old woman a ride to church on Sundays. I have no idea how old she is, but she looks a lot like a candy cane without the striping. When she comes out of her apartment, she has her cane and she steadies herself on my arm. It feels really good to be someone you can lean on. Even if I am wearing bedroom slippers because I can't get my shoes on, I feel healthy and fit.
Recently, I have started working with the Springs Rescue Mission, and by working with I mean making a few phone calls from the comfort of my living room. I went by the other day to see how many or if any volunteers showed up. I was pleased to see four guys working, and it made me happy to know that the little bit I can do is worthwhile.
I've been thinking a lot about the women and their children that will be living there, and you know, I am truly blessed. It really depends on where you look for confirmation but I can tell you that I am fit and quite wealthy at the moment.
