Day by Day

by parishioner Becki Kinch
January 15 - Help

Each person created has been given different talents, a different calling. We are all placed on this earth as mentors, someone who has learned through mistakes, then helps to show the way to others that they may avoid the same uncertainty. When we come together with open hearts and helping hands, we lessen each other's burdens, allowing all people greater success and time to rest. Sir Isaac Newton once said, "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants." In offering and receiving help; whether in ideals, physical endeavors or in spiritual plights, we build togetherness, generating a renewed strength of the entire human race.

Let us, then, have no fear in approaching the throne of grace to receive mercy and to find grace when we are in need of help. - Hebrews 4:16
