Wednesday Wisdom: The Hero Within.....Do you

Wednesday Wisdom: The Hero Within.....Do you have a Hero within you just waiting to come into action? Everyone here in California is worried about the Big storm and our eyes are watching weather reports constantly checking for updates. Meanwhile, yet another earthquake shakes an already devastated Haiti. They really need our prayers and we really need to help them if we are in any position to do so. Personally, I have always felt that your own yard needs cleaning before we can clean our neighbor's yard. However in times of great tragedy that really goes out the window and we do what we can IF we can. "God helps those that helps themselves" to me means, we need to be wise in our giving. Give if you can and in the form that you can. We are all on edge just praying to get through these rough times in good health and with our loved ones safe.
My son and I argued this morning because he has the weight of the world on his shoulders already. He is going to be eight years old at the end of next month. He already feels that it is his job to protect his class should the power go out at school today. He was completely upset with me because I would not let him take his camping lantern to school today.
Meanwhile, my daughter Emily has made up her own language. She can not speak Spanish like Dora the Explorer and some of her friends at school. So, she just makes up her own words. It is my hope that she does not offend anyone with these new words of hers!
My quote for you today is this:

"I think these difficult times have helped me to understand
better than before how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way,
and so many things one goes around worrying about are
of no importance whatever.
~ ISAK DINESEN (KAREN BLIXEN)"

I hope you have a fantastic day! Stay safe and warm...take care out there!
Keep it bubbly! xox~Jeri
