Another Button

I read of man who found fifty cents one time and from then on he walked with his head down. After 28 years, he found 27,000 buttons, 287 worn out fountain pens, several tie pins, and 264 cents just because he walked with his head down. I don't think I want to walk with my head down for that is not much to look forward to in life. Many walk around with their head down so to speak they can find a negative in almost everything they see or do, they are never looking up always down. The Bibles tells us in Luke 21:28…..
look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. Have you looked up lately? Joshua lifted up his eyes and saw the Prince of Peace. Lot lifted up his eyes and saw the Plains of Sodom. The Rich Man in Luke chapter 16 lifted up his eyes and saw the Perdition of Hell. John lifted up his eyes in the Book of Revelation chapter 21 and saw the Palaces of God's Heaven. Jesus lifted His eyes in John chapter 4 and He saw the Perishing Harvest Field. What have you and I lifted up our eyes and seen? Hurting people? They are all round us. You may say what can I do to help a hurting person? Let me share with you a true story; there was a person because of the way they had lived had no friends and I'm not sure they wanted any. Kindness was showed to this person that someone really cared about them for no one had every treated them that way before with such a kind and loving spirit. Because the time was taken to show love care and concern their whole life was turned around just because someone did something to show they cared. One day that person lifted up their eyes and asked Jesus to come into their life and now their life has been changed for eternity. We can say we care and that is good but just remember actions speak much louder than words. Showing we care is not by giving our treasures but by giving our time, for a caring loving spirit can't be brought with money. Jesus spent His life doing good to hurting people and never once will you read that He asked for money. Hurting people need an encouraging word a pat on the back a spirit that says I care let me show you. So when you lift up your eyes today what will you see? Or will you just find another button?
