Serving. . .

OK, I haven't been great on keeping up on the blog lately, and to be perfectly honest I haven't really wanted to. I've been feeling stressed and self-absorbed lately and just wasn't ready to share or elaborate. To be perfectly honest, I'm still not sure I want to enter into all of that on the blog, but I have been feeling the pull to snap out of it and help others.
So that raises the question of how to help and encourage those around us, especially when we feel in need of that ourselves. I've had a hard time seeing the silver lining in the clouds lately, but I know that it is still there. I know that God is guiding us through these times, we don't face them alone. I'd like to let others know that they aren't alone, but just not sure how to do this. . . any suggestions?
I find myself being cynical and not hopeful, and I don't like it. So I'm going to do my best to find that hope for a better tomorrow, and pray that I feel God's encouragement in a way that I can then turn around and share that with others. I live a blessed life, I have more than I deserve, and I don't want to cling so hard to that that I miss the real living that I should be doing. And really I would love simple ideas on how to touch another's life with encouragement.
