Someone right this minute is struggling.  They are not sure where to turn or how to get out of the pit that they are in.  They are anxious and filled with fear, unsure of the next step that they need to take.   Your story needs to be brought out from the darkness into the light.  You do not need to suffer in silence any more, sweet child of God.  Share the things that torment your soul, speak them out into the universe so you can release the hold that they have on you.   This will require you to walk through the pain to get to the other side, but it is a necessary evil on the road to recovery.  You can speak it, you can share your story because your story matters.  It is up to you to tell it!  In doing so, you may be able to help another soul that is struggling like you.  You can be an encouragement to others. You have the power to release your thoughts and feelings into the universe. It is up to you to tell your story … because it matters.

Time is slipping away from us all.  There’s a list a mile long of things we need to do, and yet there is so little time to do them in.  So many things need our attention, and yet there never seems to be enough to go around.  Think of the children that need you, all of you, every ounce that you can pour out at the end of the day.  They need to hear how much you love them.  You can tell them.  You can be the one to not only whisper it in their ears at the end of the night as their eyelids grow heavy just before they drift off to sleep.  But realize that they need to hear it more often than that.  They need to be showered with your love and affection.  They need to be the center of your attention.  They need to know that they are your entire world, your heart and soul, the reason you are here on this earth – to parent them, to love and guide them, to cherish and treasure them.  You can tell them.

It is up to you to tell others that you love them … they need to hear it.

This post was inspired by the Five Minute Friday prompt word:  Tell

Join us this and every Friday now over at Kate’s place, which is now the home that others gather to share their heart and a glimpse into their souls each and every Thursday night leading into Friday.
