This has been a pretty challenging year. It seems like we are in one of those snow globes and suddenly someone flipped it upside down, shook it up, before setting it down once more.
Everyone is still steadying themselves, while mustering every bit of energy to acclimate themselves to the new normal. It has not been easy. However, the one assuring thing is that we are all in this together. No one’s life has gone unaffected by the events of 2020.
While it may be difficult to see, if you, like me, are still hanging in there, there is something to be thankful for. Even if the only thing that seems to be going right, is the fact that you lived to see another sunrise, remember it is more than some people have. The fact that you are still here means that you still have a purpose.
One of the biggest lessons that I am learning this year is that I am the most blessed when I bless others. It is not about how much I have, but it is about what I give out of my abundance. If you are willing to share with others, even out of the little that you have, it will come back to you. That is what it means to spread the wealth.
Helen Keller has an inspiring story. In her life she had to overcome some difficult obstacles, and her life is a beautiful testament to overcoming.
There was one particular quote that was said to have been a force of inspiration in her life. It is recorded as thus, “I cried because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet”
We don’t always have the opportunity to see how blessed we really are. Sometimes we have to be reminded.
This season I challenge you to try to focus a little more on what you do have. Do what is in your limited power to help someone else. It does not have to be material; it can be in word or deed. I assure you, if you do this one simple thing it will be one of the best gifts you can ever give, not only to others. but also, to yourself.

One response to “Spread the Wealth”
Reading “Spread the Wealth” made me remember a decision I made some 20 years ago. It was a difficult decision to make back then but it has proved to be a wise decision. Although I had to struggle during the last 20 years to maintain my course, I found that my decision back then has been my blessing now. I would tell anybody now to build a rainy day or emergency fund because you never know when an emergency or a rainy day may come. For me it came in the year 2020. I recognized in December 2019 that something was going to be different so I paid off a few bills to put my daughter in a good place and ease my financial load then in March 2020 covid-19 changed our lives but thanks to someone laying a book down entitled Financial Peace that I read an applied a few of the principles things would have been different. So thank you for spreading the wealth.
