sharing......

How are you at sharing things?   I know we are supposed to share with others but I also know it depends on what it is to be shared - right?  In our house, growing up, if it was food - one person "cut" it and the other person got first pick.  Supposedly it kept things more even with the cut.  Clothes were also something we shared.  I remember being fine with hand me downs, even hand me overs (from my brothers), but the hand me ups (from a younger sister) bothered me.

I'm wondering, now, about sharing experiences and the stories of said experiences.  Who do you share those with?  When do you share them?  Is it to encourage - like I'm hoping these posts do?  Can you share with someone else about these posts?  Maybe even the website?  Can you share with someone about God's strength when you needed it?  Can you help someone to laugh?  I saw someone, at a store, recently who was obviously the primary care giver for a parent.  I tried to encourage them - letting them know I have "walked in their shoes."

I frequently tried to share Dad.  I would offer him to ride with someone so he could help with their driving and getting somewhere.  I would also offer him to someone who might "need" a Dad.  There were times I even offered to use the "Ransome of Red Chief" idea.   Have you thought about sharing this way?  Sometimes you have to laugh or you will start screaming!  Something to think about......
