Today was an interesting day. There were so many people in my life today that were going through something tough or were just not having the best of days. They just needed a kind word spoken to them, a hug or even just a smile! Even though I may not have been that close to some of them, my heart broke when I heard the hurting voices and saw the hurting faces. To be able to make a difference in someone's day and make them smile or laugh or just let them know that someone does care, that is an amazing feeling! I look around everyday and see thousands of hurting people just needing someone to show them some small act of compassion and kindness. I know it may not make an impact on their entire life, but just being able to make people smile and laugh and feel loved, is one of the things I enjoy doing! I hope that through these small acts, God's love will be revealed to them. So when you see someone hurting or they are just not in one of the happiest moods, don't pass them by. Just flash them a big smile, or give them a hug, or simply just tell a joke or say something positive and encouraging to them! I promise you, you will be making a difference, even if it is a small one.
When someone points out all your mistakes and then tells people about them, that's not right! Sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but I'm not perfect and I don't pretend to be! You may look at me and say, " oh she's a goody tooshoes!" But I am far from it. Just because I don't go around making my mistakes public, doesn't mean I haven't done anything I wish I could take back! My mistakes are between me and God!! Don't sit here and point fingers at me and tell people I'm not as good as they think I am, when you have mistakes of your own! Worry about getting yours right with the Lord and I'll worry about mine! I have never claimed to be prefect and I never will be, but the Bible says for me to strive to be more like Christ! I am human and I make mistakes! So don't get all surprised and upset when I mess up! I say things I shouldn't, I think things I shouldn't, I do things I shouldn't and there are things I should do that I don't do, but I will deal with my problems personally with God and I don't need people giving there input about the matter. I am far from perfect, but I strive to be more like Christ everyday of my life!!!
In this day and age people are so caught up in trying to find that special someone. Why not just live your life to the fullest? The right person for you will walk into your life without you going out and finding them. They will come when you least expect them to and you will understand why it never worked out with anyone else! They will become your night and day, they will make you smile and laugh when no one else can, they will always be on your mind, and they will make you feel like all is right in the world! They will not be perfect, but they will come pretty close to it! They will be the reason why you smile and giggle at nothing like a stupid person, the reason why you won't get sleep some nights, and the reason why your heart flutters everytime you think about them! I'm not saying it's going to be easy all the time, but when it gets tough don't let that person drift out of your life! Hold on to that cherished special someone and love them without regret!!
There are people we meet everyday that could end up making a difference in our lives or we may make a difference in their lives. I have been blessed with the most wonderful family, friends, mentors and yes even acquaintances. My family keeps me going on a daily basis, my friends I can count on to cheer me up even when they don't realize that they are, my mentors encourage me to never stop trusting in God and to always move forward, and acquaintances can just smile at me and it can make my whole day wonderful! Every single person I have met in my life is cherished by me! I may cherish them in different ways, but I am so greatful for each and every person God has blessed me to know and meet! God puts people in our lives for a reason why not cherish these people? Some people make it very difficult to be loved and cherished, but that doesn't mean we should hate on them. Maybe all these people need is a hug, a word of kindness, or even just a smile. I want to make a difference in people's life and show them the love of God! So next time someone accidentally bumps into you at the grocery store, don't get upset at them, just turn around and give them a smile, maybe that's all they need! To the people in your everyday lives, don't forget to always tell them how much you love and cherish them! God has blessed you with people to love, encourage, and cherish you so why not do the same for them!?
Have you ever looked at pictures of someone and just been like, "Wow I can't believe we used to be best friends! It was like forever ago!" Well I did that today. I looked at the pictures and it surprised me how much that person has changed and they don't even seem to remember I exist! She never texts me back and blocked me from sending her a friend request on Facebook. In a way it is sad, but it just goes to show me that not everybody is going to stick by my side and that I must move forward in life and to stop looking back at my past. I have some of the most amazing friends today!! And a loving family!! I need to be thankful for what I have today and not dwell on the things I had in my past. God has blessed me abundantly so who am I to ask for more or to be upset that I don't have the things I used to have? I will move forward and thank God everyday for what He has given me! And I will live this beautiful life to the fullest!!
