... to see people blessed. I love watching Extreme HOME makeover. My favortie part is when they move the bus when they show the faimly and their excitment it brings me to tears everytime. Happy tears, tears of joy. I love to see people being blessed. I love ABC sunday nights for extreme makeover and now the Big Give...not for the homes or for the people competeing on the big give but I love to see people being blessed. I get the lump in my throat and then tears come streaming down my face because it feels good. I talk alot about how my passion is people and it really is some simple things that can just fill my heart with joy and my eyes with tears. I remember months ago or maybe it has been a year... anyways I remember walking in late to church and at first I was a bit flustered because I hate to be late. You know I am always in the first three rows, because I like to be close and because I am easily distracted and I want no distractions however being late that day was the best distraction God intended. I remember walking in and standing at the back and there was either a video or a skit so the lights were low. When the lights are low at church they have you wait to go to your seat until the lights go up. So I began watching whatever it was that was going on ad was distracted by ALL THE PEOPLE. I know everyone says it is a big church and I know it is but when I am there and I am in my seat I dont feel that it is all that big and that can be a good thing and a bad thing. I wasnt thinking about everyone there and as I began to look around in my distraction I saw so many people, so many ethnicities, all kinds of people all ages and started wondering... what is going on in there lives? I just remember looking around and wondering...is that couple having relationship problems or seeing a man sit alone.. is he widowed and heart broken or seeing a lady with an older child wondering if she was going throug life with the struggles of being a single mother. You get the point I didnt just see bodies, I saw lives, I saw people that matter to God each and every one of them not one more or less than the other. My eyes were opened and I was filled with joy to see all these people but also was saddened.. I am not sure why I think because I know that we are all humans and we all go through struggles in our lives and I just wanted every life I saw to realize how much they matter. I know it may sound a bit cliche but what is somthing that you can do that may seem simple to put a smile on someones face or make their load a little lighter. I have been blessed in my life so many times by so many people and I may not be able to do anything huge but I can do small things. It feels good to see people blessed, why?? Maybe because I know how much these people matter to God.
Watching the Big Give..... One lady after given a car and 2,000 dollars for school she said "to think that someone thought I mattered enough"
Then after a group of ladies with aids was taken out for a day at the spa and out ladies show much gratitude and there were tears of joy but the one lady said "I feel so blessed"
