With all that is going wrong in the world there are days when I feel guilty because of my happiness. Maybe it’s just me! I’m not sure. When I scroll and see so much devastation, death, and pain in the lives of others, I’m hesitant to post my blessings on social media. Why do we downplay our joy when we know that God said in His word, “The poor you will always have with you?” Should we all hide our joy and happiness so the less fortunate will feel more comfortable with their plight in life? Does God want us to stop praising Him so that our light does not overshadow the fog and pollution that so easily take our breath away? I would think not! We serve a God who knows all about us and the world at large. He made this world and gave all of us choices, although everyone’s plight is not based on something of their choosing. I firmly believe that my little light helps the world believe in something bigger than themselves. I know that for me, I’m always encouraged when someone shares their blessing either through social media or in person. No matter how blessed I am or ever become, I will never take anything for granted. I am constantly reminded that, there but for the grace of God go I, especially as a caregiver. It’s OK to be happy. This world needs your joy, your light, and your encouragement however you choose to sit at the table of life!
