Your point is an important one, Susan: we make it harder on each other to see those invisible struggles when we are hiding our own. 🙁 May we each better understand and live out the importance of making ourselves vulnerable for the greater good of everybody!

Oh, that’s good advice from your weight watcher leader—the more trips, the better. ha. I need to look at it that way! 🙂 I brought 11 bags in this week in 2 trips; think how many more calories I would have burned if I’d made that 4 trips instead. ha.

Good point, Floyd….sometimes we’ve so consumed with our wounds that we don’t look up to notice the wounds of those around us. God often promotes our healing in community—thanks for adding that here!

Those invisible wounds sometimes go the deepest, yes? Fortunately, I am now band-aid free on my knuckles as of Monday. 🙂 Thanks, Laura.

What a great way to explain to your boys to leave the scab alone! I need to take and give that advice as well. 🙂 We all have areas in our story that need to be given proper time to heal without us picking and judging and condemning. Thanks for your prayers, friend!

You’re right, Dolly: we rarely know what other people around us are dealing with. So much of our stories are invisible to the outside world, but that doesn’t excuse us from showing kindness. Thanks for sharing!

And every soul that walks through this world carries scars and wounds… but most of the world, and me sometimes, only notice their own wounds.

Our wounds don’t heal until we tend to the wounds of others.

It’s dichotomy of what makes sense in our flesh.

Thanks for the wisdom and the needed reminder.
