The lessons we learn

 Sometimes, to write  what I really have on  my heart, it seems like if I need to be in the situation to do so, and today is actually a good time for it J Maybe you had one of those days today when life feels so purposeless, without anything exciting to do, it’s just seems so repetitive and monotone...  On the opposite side, you might have had a purposeful and meaningful day, everything on your To Do list has been checked, and many opportunities showed up for you to brighten someone’s day at work, at school, on the street, at home-wherever else you’ve been. If I would always, every single day, live on the bright side of life it would be more than wonderful, but like all of us now it isn’t the case. My daily goals, personally, are to at least encourage a person, pray for someone I can see that’s struggling, shine God’s love and patient to others, and even if I don’t verbally share with them the Gospel, at least live out the way He would in order for others to know who you live for.  They are my personal goals that I would want to achieve every day, but unfortunately, it’s not always easy. I fail sometimes. On the contrary, I might choose to ignore the opportunity that God clearly put before me, think it’s too hard, it demands too much, it means that I’ll need to get out of my comfort zone…

Today I’ve been amazed to see how many opportunities God gives us each day to serve Him. Even if most of us are still students it doesn’t restrains us from doing what we are called to do, and to be a light in this world that’s in great need of a Savior. It also struck me when I came across all of those people today on the city bus, that you can’t ignore by seeing and hearing them that some are struggling greatly, and faced with hard challenges.

There’s this girl I came across a few months ago on the bus, and I have on my heart and in my prayers since then. I don’t know her name, neither where she lives specifically, all that I know is she has a tough time just by looking in her eyes. I talked with her a little bit, and I simply help her out with the stuff she was carrying and her little girl…I didn’t do much at all that day to say, but for her it’s like if I would have given her very much. She couldn’t understand that an unknown person to her would do that.   The lesson I got from it is, what she need is what we usually take for granted, such as a welcoming home,  parents who encourages, friends to trust, and so many other blessings that we, most of us have. I really didn’t do that much that day, that I thought, and I am not any more special than anyone else because I gave her a hand, but it’s just that- what she wanted that day was to be cared for and loved. This story came to me today, not by chance or because I couldn’t find something else to write about, but it’s really because I never saw her again since then…until today. What I can do is put her in God’s care, and He will work in her life. God can do miracles. I say this story not because I want to say that I’ve did something great, but it’s just a reminder that those things that you do that might seem insignificant-they can mean a whole lot to somebody else. Let’s be other people’s sunshine, and brighten up their day.

Have a great week folks!
