This Friday's Food for Thought...

This week I read the blog on the To Write Love On Her Arms site, and read a beautifully written piece by the founder, Jamie Tworkowski. If you have a chance to go to their page- www.twloha.com- I'd recommend it! Reading the story of their organization really opened my eyes and ears to some things that it's so easy to be ignorant about sometimes. I'm truly grateful for the hope and the stories they share.

But there was one paragraph in this blog that really gripped me. Maybe it just "hit home" for me. Maybe it will for you too. Either way, I wanted to share it regardless.

"Be loved. Be known. Love people and know people. Be so brave as to raise a hand for help when you need it. Make friends and make sure they know they matter. Be loyal to them and fight for them. Remind them what's true and invite them to do the same when you forget. If you do some losing or you walk with someone else in their defeat, live with dignity and grace. It is a middle finger to the darkness."

Be Loved. Sometimes that's the hardest part. But be intentional about it. It'll pay off.
