DO something and PROVE that what you're saying is true!

It's not enough just to say "I Love You"
It's not enough just to say "I care about what's going on in your life"
It's not enough to say "I'm praying for you"
It's not enough to think about helping someone.
It's not enough to say I want to change the world.
And it's not enough to only stay someone's friend through the good times.

You have to show someone you care
You have to show someone you love them
You have to actually sit down, and pray for someone.
You have to get out there and make someone's day a little brighter.
You have to work hard, pray harder, and do something that actually helps someone.
And you have to stick close to your friends and family through the good times and bad.

Do you have the faintest idea what it feels like to be at the bottom of a deep deep hole and there is absolutely no way out? I've been pretty low, but I don't think I can say I've hit the deepest rock bottom.
Can you at least imagine it though? It would be awful.
I have a friend who's mom has stage 5 ovarion cancer. It is so incredibly sad. I can't describe how much it tears me up knowing that his family is dealing with something like that every day.=(

Well, yesterday I decided to take them a pie. Just a basic chocolate pudding with some cool whip pie. At a spur of the moment, mom got the idea of cutting some flowers from our yard. We grabbed a card form the closet and just happened to have one that said "Sending you a little ray of sunshine" and we ran the three things by the house. I think that it made them all smile, and I truly think it brightened their day.

The point? Just saying "I'm here for you" doesn't really mean anything if you just say that. You have to do little things to make people KNOW you care. Whether it be listening when someone needs to talk, calling someone randomly to see how their day has been, helping clean the dishes, cough cough cleaning you're room without being told...that might be a little difficult cough cough, making them a pie randomly and telling someone you really are thinking about them, or meeting up and just hanging out when someone's had a bad day.

Make it a goal to reach out and DO something for someone today. I can't tell you how amazing it feels


And please please please keep my friend's family in your prayers!!!
