A brief interlude

It is always good to have done something good. It is always good to have made someone smile. You can never regret brightening their day or being the shoulder they needed to cry on. It doesn't matter if they neglected you afterward. It doesn't matter if you'll never be as close as you thought you could have been. You can't regret making someone happy. Everyone deserves to be happy. And it's ok not to be the one that made them happy. The Lord puts us in the places we need to be to serve those that need us. If it's not today, then it will be tomorrow. If we're going where we're supposed to go and doing what we're supposed to do, we will be right where he needs us, when he needs us. He helps us find those kindred spirits in life that can be near and dear to our hearts and lift us up in times of trial. But most of the time, we are just meant to briefly touch the lives of those around us. And that's why we need to make sure that we touch their lives with good and righteous intent, and leave them with a smile.
