Just a Little Post

Life is kinda crazy sometimes, huh?  Like, we have to do things that make us stretch and grow; people come in and out of our lives; situations change (for better or worse...), we change, people around us change.  Curveballs seem to be the rule, not the exception.

One thing I know for sure is that when we look outside of ourselves and love other people more and try to focus ourselves on helping others, those problems clear themselves up.  Jesus' life wasn't a walk in the park, but He served and gave life for the downtrodden--for you and for me. 

And that's something worth talking about.

How has looking past your own problems helped you?

  1. Everytime I look past my own problems,I find myself so much happier! My problems don't change, but my perspective does.

  2. this totally fit in with how I've been feeling lately.. We just watched Finding Faith in Christ with an investigator and as we watched i pondered how, when all the bad things kept happening to OUR Savior he didnt get mad, or angry, INFACT he asked Heavenly Father to forgive them! that's a lot of love. I know that as we become more Christ like, we will feel the same when those curve balls come at us!
