My Support

Support= someone  being helpful in the time of need or have your best interest at heart.

    It would be a very lonely life if a person did not show or receive support from others. Each  morning  I wake up, I need to know that I have spiritual/emotional  support from praying to GOD. Studying my bible gives the support to deal with matters of the day. From this I feel that I can help others socially ( hugs, smiles, conversation and reaching out via e-mail or phone).
   My husband and daughter are another factor of support, with out them I would feel very much alone. Each evening we talk about our day, I guess you could say it's a time to reflect on the high points and the low points. Sometimes venting or  laughter comes with the mood we are in and  a hug of gratitude for the end of a working day.  My practical support is simply being organize in the day to day priorities, getting clothes ready for the work week, having lunch ready for the week ,dinner,  days for cleaning the house to keep it nice at all times. I must say having support  from the family with an organized home truly helps with the mood  and then the monetary support is something I take pride in. My husband pays all of the bills and I'm the  contributor to the pot. I'm very bless that he takes awesome care of our family. The benefits that we reap from this is a peaceful, loving  castle to come back to at the end of the day.
  All of this support that I receive benefits others in my life, I've  learned  early on to think about other's needs and be in the moment with friends , family and co-workers. I believe when you understand being supportive to others it becomes a "service" that is so worthwhile. and the measures come back to you in more ways.
   If I had to chose a challenge and imagine what life would be like without help, I would look at being pregnant in my late forties with no help. Wow how frightening that would be!
   No father for the child, no extra monetary support, no community help, no emotional support to share my feeling. I'm so grateful that I'm not in that type of situation, yet I  must think of others that could be. In my heart of hearts I believe that everyone has at least someone in their life that they can count on. What would this world be like if absolutely no support was available for such an individual.

My prayer is that each person feels loved and supported through life!
