bigger than you will ever know

Sometimes I get upset that no one seems to care about what is going on in my life, what problems I'm facing, and what I need prayer for. But so what, big deal. That only causes me to think about me more.....which ends up making me more miserable and upset than before. Though it is extremely difficult, not our natural tendency, and no one else seems to do it, we need to constantly focus outwards.....on others. Everyone has a crazy life, everyone has problems, everyone needs prayer. I am not special..... but I should treat others in a way that makes them feel special. I want to be the type of person that I would want to meet. I want to be a someone who makes someone else look forward to tomorrow. Today will never come again; what kind of impact can one word of encouragement, one smile, one act of kindness make on a person? A big one. Bigger than you'll ever know.
