Be Aware

I always said it is too bad that people or celebrities wait until something unfortunate happens in their lives or the life of a loved one to bring awareness or support to that disease. This is one reason I always send money to St. Jude when they send me those address labels. I think "wow, what if my child was sick and I needed people to send in money". Don't get me wrong, I am not a Saint. I wish I responded to more causes like that. But something about sick children....... ugh...... Well, Breast Cancer awareness is something that has always kind of been on my heart. Maybe it is being a woman and having that sort of bond with other women and trying to imagine what they are going through whether it be themselves, their sister or their Mom who is sick. I've always wanted to do one of those "walks". Just another thing that I have put off due to "business". It's interesting how the Spirit may prompt us to do things. Like walk for a cure, send money to a cause, feed the homeless at a shelter, help victims who were affected by the recent tornado, or make a meal for a friend who is having a hard time. And it is even more interesting how we choose to respond or not, to that Call. I often say to friends "I couldn't really tell you what I did all week, but I was so busy". The truth is I probably wasn't busy enough. There is so much to do. There is so many ways to help & so many ways to change lives even if it is just for an hour or two. Even if it seems simple to us, it could be huge to somebody else. Even if it seems huge to us, God is calling us for a reason.
