I'm fragile tonight. Ever feel like that? I've had a lot of blows lately from unexpected places and now I'm teetering on the edge. Not on the edge in a mad way or even an "edge of insanity" way. But just like if you bump me, I'll fall off and shatter. So don't bump me, okay? (Just kidding.)

It hurts to be hurt. Whether it's intentional or totally accidental, it still hurts. But we all do it. Then we forgive. And God forgives us.

Funny how God works. Here I am smack dab in the middle of my blog pity party, wearing my little pity party hat, and eating. . .well, eating whatever is in sight, when up pops an email on the screen from one of my dearest friends. Subject line? "How are you?"

Now I'm teary with gratitude. God sure didn't let me wallow long, did He? :)

Send someone a note today just to let them know you realize they're hurting. Love for the sake of loving, serve for the sake of serving, and give for the sake of giving. God does.
