Good morning!!
It is amazing how many people have so much inside they need to share…
The need to share their feelings. Their hurt. Their pain…
They want to share their memories. Their experiences…
The struggles they face. The dark thoughts they dare not tell others…
The loss they deal with. Even the emptiness. For sometimes, that empty feeling is the most scary of all…
So many people looking for someone to listen…
To hear their stories without judgement…
And they don’t know where to go…
So, more and more, they are coming to me.
For they have been reading my stories. Hearing me talk on my videos…
And they know that I share. I share in a way most would dare not…
I put it out there for the world to see…
My feelings. My struggles. My joy. My excitement…
Even sometimes my pain…
So people reach out to me every day. Sharing those feelings. Sharing what they are going through…
And I feel honored to be the one getting their message.
For it means they must see something in me. They look at me as someone they can trust with their darkest secrets…
As someone who will get them. Understand. Listen…
Sometimes I will advise, but only if they want my thoughts…
Because these people are hurting. They have a story to tell, and want someone to listen. And it is an honor for me to be that person…
I believe it my calling. My passion is to help. To make people feel better…
To spread joy to others.
Sometimes, however, these stories I am listening to every day can be a lot to hear. A lot to take on. To absorb…
It can be a heavy load to carry. A responsibility that I did not know I would have waiting for me. But God only gives us what we can handle…
So here I am. It is Christmas Eve morning…
And I know that I am blessed. Blessed with love. Blessed with special gifts...
Blessed with an ability to share. To help. To be there for others.
So today, I am truly counting my blessings, for they are many…
We are all blessed. Each and every day, whether we see those blessings or not…
We need to find a way to feel gratitude. To feel loved. To feel appreciated. To be listened to. To be heard…
We need to know that there are others who do indeed care…
And that we are not alone.
Ken
