WHAT IF????

You know a couple months ago when I left my old job.... I thought I was leaving for other reasons, like the way people treated me (my boss), the way I felt. But now just this week I have noticed something.... it is for the way I treat others. God had a plan, somthing I definantly was clueless about. I have never been the kind of person to treat people bad but did I ever take those extra steps, make the extra initiative to be extra kind, caring and compassionate. Sure to my friends and family, but not to stragers. You see I work at a hotel in Niles and we have lots of people who are less fortunante stop by...for coffee, to use the bathroom, or they ask to look for cans in the dumpsters. I have begun looking at them in their eyes and its quite amazing how much you will see when you look at people in the eyes. You can somtimes see joy, when you think they must be broken, somtimes you see that they are carrying much hurt, sadness, brokeness, and even at times anger. WHAT IF.... when we came across someone all we could see was their eyes, not the way they are dressed, or if their hair is combed, or face cleanly shaven.... Would you see people for who they are? Would we have a closer perception to where they have been? Its what I have seen over the last couple weeks. Since I am work that is not too much that I can do but I can ask them how there day is, show them kindness, offer them a warm cup of coffee and soon I can tell them about GCC's niles campus...YEAH!! A warm place to go, a safe place to go, where they matter. I beleive Niles campus will be extraordinary... the same yet different. I am ready to help pull my part. I am ready to help put the glow in someones eyes, the sparkle because they find they matter. So WHAT IF, just what if you look straight into someones eyes?
