Comforter

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NIV). Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.......

What great verses these are.  God is our comforter and not only that, God wants us to comfort those who are in trouble.  We are to pass it on.

How often do you have an opportunity to pay it forward or to even start the ball rolling on others to pay it forward?  Look around you, do you see someone who could use a little comfort?  Someone that needs cheered up?  

Today I was out picking up a couple things from the grocery store.  This store requires you to use a quarter in order to get a cart.  Stupid me, doesn't think about this until I get to the store every single time.  Usually I have change in my cup holder or the bottom of my purse.  Today I had no quarters either place because I had used my change to buy something earlier this week.  Luckily I found one on the floor of my car (my 4 year old loves change and also loves leaving it lay around).  


After I got a few things and put them in my car, I went to return the cart and there was a nice older gentleman coming to get one.  You know what I did?  I gave him my cart and told him to keep his quarter.  

I know it wasn't much but it felt good to do something for someone else and ya know what?  I think I'm going to do that more often and expand it to something else too.


Who can you provide comfort to this week?  How can you pay it forward or get the ball rolling and allow someone else to pay it forward?  Challenge yourself to find one person to comfort this week, ya never know what one little thing will do for someone :)
