Live For
Others
by
Barbara Philbrook
Live for
others that's the message for today.
Others are affected by everything we do and say.
Speak
positively, lifting the spirits of those around you.
We know not the pain other's are going through.
Perhaps
there's a sadness we do not see.
Perhaps they've been rejected heartlessly.
Maybe a
pain not evident to our eye,
or feelings of inadequacy for failing at what they tried.
People
suffer in their own personal way.
Some keeping it inside, others may pray.
Some talk
it over with a relative or friend,
someone on whom they know they can depend.
If we are
conscious of everything we do or say,
perhaps we can brighten someone's day.
It may not
be evident, you may never know,
but another may benefit by the caring you show.
Live for
others making life the best that it can be.
You will be glad you did throughout eternity.
