Well, it has been a few days since my last post. I have been setting around thinking to my self mm i should write a new blog, but at the same time i was not sure as to what to write about, for nothing much as really gone on.. but i knew that if i was give the need to write, then something would come my way to give me the thing to write about. i was going to write about hope and faith and why they seem to be same thing at the same time. but some thing just struck me and so i think that i will tell you this instead.
At work everyday I see many people of all walks of life. From the very well off that you think why are they shopping here to the ones that have no home to call there own. I also see the very young to the very old, to the very health, to the very sick, (physically to mentally). Today i had the great pleaser of helping this really sweet older lady not woman but a lady big difference. any-way i digress, she new what she was looking for and she knew how she wanted to use it. I thought this was great for me at last all i would have do was steer her in the right direction and be on my way. Well, it was not that easy she may have known what see wanted, but she did not know what she really needed. So, here i am. So i start to guide her to the area that the product that she was really looking for was located. I had to go over the many different options that were available to her, we went back and forth a few time but we made it to the same page. For what she was needing and the product that would benefit her the best. Then we parted ways. The rest is history.
Well, it is not all history really, this is a great story about something that really happened to me today and when i go back and think about it, it looks a lot like what our Lord and Savior does for us. He knows deep down in side of us that we are looking for something, it is built into our DNA sort-of-speak. We all look for him and we know that we need something like Him in our lives but at the same time we don't know what we are looking for, till someone comes along to give us the guidens to get us closer to Him. we find the guidance that we need without knowing we are being guided toward our GOD and Savior. All the people that we meet in our lives be it brief moment or for a very long time, be it a member of our church home or person on the street. God is always giving us away to come home to him, he is always giving us the opportunity to see him in others and for other to him in us.
So, take the time from your day and look back at the people that you help or helped you, the ones that you come across, and see how it is that you could have been the one to show Gods love to someone. I am sorry but you can not say well i am not out going or i don't work with the public. Thats Bull Crap! the only way that is possible is if you are DEAD.. and if you are reading this you aren't hate to tell you that... ok ok ok I will get off of it..
Just remember that you have every chance in the world to change you and someone if it is just lending your ear, showing some interest in someone by saying hello how are you, or even showing some joy and kindness in your eyes...
So do me and the people a favor think about what you do be for you do it, be nice and kind and act from the heart not the mind for action of the heart are true and more meaningful than that of the mind. If nothing else remember this "Treat others with the same respect as you would have them treat you" and like my mama all ways said "If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all." I know this is harder to do than it is said but you can all ways try that is all ever ask of my friends and that is all God and Christ ever ask of you.
LOVE it! Well said, Trav!
