Just What I Need
May 3, 2016
We can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
2 Corinthians 1:4
As I stood in the back of the room at a senior citizens center in Palmer, Alaska, listening to my daughters high school choir sing It Is Well with My Soul, I wondered why she, the choir director, had chosen that song. It had been played at her sister Melissas funeral, and Lisa knew it was always tough for me to hear it without having an emotional response.
My musings were interrupted when a man sidled up next to me and said, This is just what I need to hear. I introduced myself and then asked why he needed this song. I lost my son Cameron last week in a motorcycle accident, he said.
Wow! I was so focused on myself that I never considered the needs of others, and God was busy using that song exactly where He wanted it to be used. I took my new friend Mac, who worked at the center, aside, and we talked about Gods care in this toughest time in his life.
All around us are people in need, and sometimes we have to set aside our own feelings and agendas to help them. One way we can do that is to remember how God has comforted us in our trials and troubles so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God (2 Cor. 1:4). How easy it is to be engrossed in our own concerns and forget that someone right next to us might need a prayer, a word of comfort, a hug, or gift of mercy in Jesus name.
Lord, help me to see where help is needed, and help me to provide that help. Thank You for the comfort You give; help me to share it.
Comfort received should be comfort shared.
Todays reading gives special attention to how believers are to serve one another in humility. During our Lords time on earth He provided the ultimate example of ministering to others. Now the Holy Spirit indwells believers and gives us the power to show that kind of self-sacrifice to the body of Christ.

I do, too! I was so angry!
They were cleaning the house next door for re-sale, and I went out one afternoon to check on buds and there was nothing left but a stump! I wasn’t even sure who did it so I could confront them. Probably a good thing.
I was MAD!! LOL!
I was so relieved to see new growth on the stump. *whew*

That was such a wonderful and helpful devotional today Mayor. It is true we often only see things from our perspective...

Well, I have to admit, gardening is not as easy for me as it used to be.
My knees REALLY hurt! (sigh)

I forgot to mention they are planted here in the fall...fall bloom until it gets really cold..pinch them often, fertilize ..and you have big plants blooming in spring until the heat sets in.

I think too much snow cover might deprive them of too much light...They handle our brief snows and below freezing though they stop blooming but I would check this on the internet for your zone.
It once was a brief luxury to plant them in the spring here as they don’t like Texas heat. Someone figured out the current method and they are beautiful at Thanksgiving!
