Like They Were The Only Ones There

When you change your outlook to life, its amazing the kind of things you see. My husband works at a mall and most of the time he works until closing which leaves me sitting in the mall parking lot watching all the people while I wait on him to come out. Last night as I sat in the car waiting and the rain pouring down, there were about twenty people in front of the mall waiting for the bus, but there two that caught my eye. There was young man who looked to be about twenty years old and just by looking at him, in my mind I had already deducted that he was a thug or drug dealer just by the way he was dressed. Beside him was, obviously, his little brother who was mentally handicapped. I watched at they joined the group of people waiting for the bus and the little boy was growing increasingly agitated and restless having to stand still for so long. Noticing this the young man looked around and then gently tapped his little brothers arm and took off running. Noticing his brothers boredom he started an impromptu game of tag and they ran and played in the rain for at least fifteen minutes. No one laughed at them, no one whispered and pointed fingers, everyone smiled at the blessing they were seeing play out in front of them. I personally sat in my car with tears running down my face as I thanked God for showing me another lesson, the age old "Don't judge based on looks" Finally John came out and got in the car and we headed home and as we left I looked in the rear view mirror and they were still out there playing, like they were the only ones there.

God Bless

Trying

I recently happened upon a website called www.givesmehope.com and I have never cried so hard in my life. I will be the first to admit that I have a hardened heart when it comes to the human race. When people do something nice I don't see it as a kind gesture, I see them as being nice because they want something in return. I did not believe that people could just be nice. I read the stories on that site and I saw the works of genuine compassion and I believe that I was directed to that website for a reason.

I want to be someone that sees someone in need and wants to help them instead of thinking, "oh if I buy that man food he is just going to be insulted."

I want to be that person that is able to open my heart to what the Lord is saying instead of slamming it shut scared.

I want to be that person that I feel like I used to be.

I want to be a good christian and an example to all around me.

So I am going to change my outlook.

When you see me I will smile, I hope you smile back.

If there is anything I can do to help someone I will do it.

I am going to stop being so selfish, I need to remember that God will always provide.

I am trying and thats all I can do.

God Bless and good night
