You Are Unique, You Really Are!
Sometimes it is just nice to do nothing, to just enjoy everything around you!
That is what today has been about for me. A time of relaxing, of blog hopping and catching up with my friends and fellow bloggers, to see how things are going.
I am so blessed by the many friends that the Lord has given me through Hill Country Thoughts.
I never know what I will experience as I visit each one. I am always touched as I visit, as different ones share their thoughts, their ideas, their hopes, their dreams, their hurts and wounds, often vulnerable but yet sharing from the heart. I may leave with tears in my eyes, or a rejoicing heart.
We have been given such an awesome tool in the Internet, to be used, a chance to be real and honest, vulnerable at times. It is the honesty and the openness that draws others, because what is being shared is being shared from the heart, out of what they have experienced in their lives.
One of the things that really amazes me is that a number of times, is the way that various bloggers will post their thoughts and often times , it goes along with what I am sharing, or with what they are sharing and the amazing thing again, is none of us had read what they other had posted prior to posting.
One of the main themes I always talked about is the fact, that often times we may think why share this, it won’t mean a thing, when it is the very thing someone who is blogging or surfing by needs to read, to hear in their hearts and when they do, it gives them hope, it plants a seed that someone else might water and another harvest.
That is why I encourage you my friends, don’t be weary in blogging, maybe not every day, but know, that even when you don’t “get comments” you may be touching lives that you will never know about this side of heaven.
I just really felt to post this today, to let you know, that what you write, what you share is very important, it touches the hearts of others.
Allow the Lord to use you, even when you “don’t see results” for our purpose is to encourage, exhort, lift up one another. To listen, to be there as we blog by those that are on our hearts.
Each one of you my friends are unique, one of a kind and only you can share what you share because you are sharing from your heart. Allow the Lord, allow others to be encouraged by sharing what He has written upon your heart. Stir up the gifts He has given you, use them to bless others.
Be blessed my blogging friends, my fellow surfers. May you find in what you read, here in the Hill Country or elsewhere, that which will draw you closer to the Lord and give you hope as you walk this pathway, called life.
Till later,
Paul
