Sometimes the best way to nourish my own soul is to nourish someone else's.
To get my eyes off myself for a while. To get perspective.
I have a friend who is hurting. A lot. She has a daughter with mysterious health issues. She has to watch her condition deteriorate without knowing why.
I can't do much to make it better. Not really. I don't have answers or real solutions. But I can try to minister to her in little ways. With coffee time and pumpkin muffins. By working on a project together. Praying together.
And I learned that all that time reaching out to her gave me a wonderful chance to quiet the noise in my own head.
Remember how I said each craving was a reminder to pray? Like a brick? Now my cravings are reminders to pray for others too. So how can I pray for you today?
