Inspire

Looking back throughout the decades of life that have passed, there were many people who became inspirations.

They didn't have to do anything extraordinary.  

Some of them were extremely humble.

But their inspiration made a difference.

One, who clearly comes to mind, was a very dear friend in Arizona.

A teacher, she served as a staunch advocate of children and a prolific reader. 

A widow at an early age, she brought up a daughter completely on her own.

She managed her finances and her life with a fine tooth comb.

She was always willing to listen, to help solve problems, and to pray.

She was a real inspiration in my own life during some pretty dark days. 

She was one of many others who became inspirations.

We, too, can inspire others with our actions, faith, hope, and prayers.

CAN YOU SHARE WITH US ONE PERSON WHO WAS AN INSPIRATION IN YOUR OWN LIFE?

I am watching episodes from a movie called The Chosen. It's about Jesus' life and His Apostles and the happenings along the way. The Apostles always inspire me - they were average people who gave up much to follow Jesus, and who had great faith throughout. I love to hear their stories.

Your inspire rock is beautiful, Susan. I love rocks with words too. : )
