bless your heart: Heart Trouble {Mama Says}

Post by Jana Redmond:

At my age, my heart trouble is not finding Mr. Right...luckily, I met my soul mate long ago. And thankfully my heart trouble is not of the medical variety either. My heart trouble is not for my own, because we have been blessed beyond compare with happy, healthy children, grandchildren, siblings and parents.

My heart trouble is often seeing all the need there is out there and how little we do to reach out, relieve suffering, lighten loads and bring joy.

Look around your classroom, your neighborhood, your church, your little town and see where you can be of service. Whether it's volunteering at a nursing home, taking lunch to a sick friend, or cleaning up the neighbors yard, put forth the effort, the "trouble", if you will, to share your heart with others.

A cause close to my heart is animal rescue. I have been active with French Bulldog Rescue Network for several years and have opened up my home to take abandoned dogs in, rehabilitate their health and hearts and find them new homes worthy of these precious creatures.

Find your cause, find humility in helping others and cure your own heart trouble.
