With so many changes underway for the new semester, all I can say is....
When life hands you lemons, do the best that you possibly can to make a tall, sweet glass of lemonade...

I saw a little boy today on my way home from work, he couldn't have been anymore than 3 or 4. He was in his own "little" world running and playing with whatever he could find on the ground. I noticed he must have just gotten a new pair of sneakers....Nike Air Force Ones, and I also noticed that his mother or father were no where in sight. As I got closer to the small child, he stopped and looked down at his untied shoes. He tried so hard to tie them. By this time I was (literally) standing in front of the lil guy watching him trying to make the "bunny ears" and the "loop". As I continued to watch him, he didn't notice me. I bent down and tapped his shoe as if to say, "I'll do it for you", and proceded to tie his shoes. I made sure to double knot them just in case he wanted to resume running around. Of course he knew no English. When I got up, I continued walking and looked back to see the boy still looking at me, I understood his eyes as if they said, "thank you". As small and insignificant as this may seem, this was the highlight of my day...
just found your blog. yeah, can't wait to read up on ya! Love ya girl!
ReplyDeleteThat must be how God is with us. We are that little kid who cannot fully understand him. But if we let Him, God will bend done and fix our problems so that we can get back to doing what we were meant to do. Too God Christians who submit and allow him to help them must have those same eyes of understanding. Praise God for that!!!
