Balcony People

Some years ago I did a sermon based on the book Balcony People by Joyce Landorf Heatherley.  It is a marvelous book about how real people have real needs. 

Joyce says that some people look down from the balcony and judge those below.  Some live down below and complain about everything.  But there are those who reach over the side of the balcony to lend a hand up.  This is what we should all aspire to be.

We can grouse about our lives.  We can look upon others with scorn.  Or we can see people and reach for them.  Are you reaching for people?  Are you helping people up in life?

Every moment wasted on negativity is a moment that cannot be recaptured.  May we all lift one another up.

It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
