Sacrificing for Others

Good day people!! Yesterday I had the liberty of being in the company of my mother and her two wonderful sisters. My mind prompted me to call my auntie to see if she needed me to do anything for her, she said yes and I then called my mother to see if she wanted to ride with us. After picking everybody up, we just simply hung out. When they get together it stirs up so much wonderful history from their lives. We can sit and talk for hours about the goodness of God. I learn so much from them and they are pleased to hear what I know about life, too. Their conversation always stem around God. They look back and see how God has brought them through life situations, i.e., husbands and children. They always talk about church history. You could feel the spiritual richness coming from each of them and I am very blessed to have that in my life. Being around loved ones is sense of security and assurance that everything is going to be alright. Forfeiting my wants to take them around to run errands far exceeded any amount of money or fun I could have had myself. I look forward to sacrificing myself more for the needs of others. God Bless!!
