Denis Gibbon | | This question of who cares is usually an affirmation of the sad fact that so few people really do care about the people they really should be caring about. It is also a sobering question to pose to ourselves as to who in this world really cares about us, I mean about you and me. It is true that in our polite society people usually give the impression that they care, but do they really? Is it not just another pretense so as not to rock the boat so to speak. We are all so overwhelmed with our own problems in our sometimes miserable little worlds. How often do you experience sudden misfortunate happenings that occur simultaneously or one after the other in what could be called, incredible unfairness. How often have you refrained from asking for help when you really needed it, and then felt so terribly let down by the fact that you were unable to think of anyone that you knew would understand and come to your aid? So many of us suffer so much in silence. What answer do you give when you feel at your lowest and someone asks you how you are? How we have been schooled to lie! The images we give and the reality of our lives are often contradictory, but why should we trouble others with the truth? Who cares anyway?
I remember when I could call mum or dad to ease my pain or share my excitement about some new event in my life. I haven't been able to do that since they passed on and as the years go by the list of souls who really meant something to us, dwindles. I am so happy that I have a personal relationship with God. As a Christian, I am able to contact my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ 24/7. He has been so good to me over the years, and uite honestly I do not know how I could live my life without His help. I know that He loves me and for that matter He loves you and you and you, each in a very deep and unique way. He has pulled meout of many deep and dark holes which seemed like eternal prisons at the time. I mean it seemed that there was no way of escape. There were times when in the midst of agonizing anxiety and worry He unexpectedly showered me with His warmth and inexplicable peace like no medicine could.
So to answer the question of , Who Cares? I can say Jesus Christ does. He cares so much that He died a most horrific death so that people like me who were trapped in the snares of sin and evil could have the means of lighting their little lamp of hope for themselves and those closest to them. Truly, truly, truly, Jesus cares for you more than you would ever be able to imagine.
This post may seem strange, but it is from my heart. I just felt this morning that I needed to share this message because maybe just one person who reads it will find in it the key to a new life.
In the love of Jesus Christ,

I've never made a fortune, and it's probably too late now.
But I don't worry about that much, I'm happy anyhow
And as I go along life's way,
I'm reaping better than I sowed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.
Haven't got a lot of riches,
and sometimes the going's tough
But I've got loving ones all around me,
and that makes me rich enough.
I thank GOD for his Blessings,
and the Mercies HE's bestowed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.
I remember times when things went wrong,
My faith wore somewhat thin.
But all at once the dark clouds broke,
and the sun peeped through again.
So LORD, help me not to gripe,
about the tough rows I have hoed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.
If GOD gives me strength and courage,
When the way grows steep and rough.
I'll not ask for other blessings,
I'm already Blessed enough.
And may I never be too busy,
to help others bear their loads..
Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.
