Do you take
care of yourself or are you at the bottom of your to do list? So often our
needs
are pushed aside as so many other things demand our time and attention, it has become a
habit to put ourselves last. It’s OK to take time for yourself; like on a plane when you are told
to put the mask on yourself first then help others. God wants you to take time for yourself
and make time to spend with Him. You need time alone to rejuvenate: mind, body and spirit.
It’s not selfish to put yourself first as we have been raised to think. It’s crucial that you take
care of yourself so you can continue to take care of others
Getting Help When Needed
Getting paid once
a month is hard, there is no wiggle room for mistakes. Getting January’s
check
the last day of school in December is harder because it must last until
February.
I
diligently kept track of every penny. Maybe I had just a little extra to see
that the kids had gifts for
Christmas. Want became need when my daughter had to
have a new coat.
I sent my
insurance payment only to discover that I had just enough money to cover the
check. With two weeks until payday, how could I get milk and bread without
money? I don’t
talk about financial problems but I was so upset that I let it
slip.
I
stopped by the post office, an envelope with no return address contained $20;
enough to tide me
over until I got paid. I couldn’t thank the sender so I began
to watch for ways to help others without
them knowing it, sort of pay it
forward and keep their dignity intact.
