Would you eat it?

I was vaccuuming out my parent's car yesterday and I found an open package of reese peanut butter cups under the seat. There were two whole cups left. Now my question is.... would you eat them?
Well... I sure did and they were pretty good. That's my story.

The Little Things

I tell you the truth, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to Christ will certainly not lose his reward.
Mark 9:41

Then the King will say to those on his right, "Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
Matthew 25:34-40

I was having a bit of a frustrating day today. I was thinking about some circumstances in my life that weren't going as I had planned. This kind of put me in a bad mood, I knew there was nothing I could do to change these circumstances but I could choose my attitude towards them. This afternoon I chose to have a bad attitude towards them, but it only took one little thing to start to turn it around. While I was sulking at work one woman that I was working with went and got herself a sucker and she brought me one too. Maybe she noticed my mood but I'm not sure... that doesn't matter, she brought me a sucker. This little act of kindness made me smile and see how selfish I was being. It helped me to feel noticed and cared for. It made think of these verses. I think sometimes we think that in order to make a difference we need to do something big, something that no one else could do. In midst of trying to find something big to do, we neglect the little things. I think sometimes we underestimate how much of a difference we can make by doing something as simple a giving a smile, bringing someone water, or giving a compliment. Sometimes maybe even the little things like this can make a bigger difference than the "big" things. So lets all spread God's love and not forget to do the little things to show love to others.

I quit!!!

That's right I gave my notice at decor today! Two more weeks and I'm done and I'm soooo thankful. This week I've been helping out in the spray booth quite a bit. The fumes kind of get to me so it makes for long days, but it's the weekend now. Time to relax and enjoy things. Two more weeks left of putting up with frustrations with the roomate and work and then off to camp! Yay! that's all!

A challenge from a walk

I went for a walk this evening. I thought I would just go return a movie, so off I went. As I was walking I came across an old man bending over and picking up garbage at the side of the road. Why is he doing this?, I thought to myself, is he crazy? is he just doing a nice thing? I don't know. Garbage on the street or the sidewalk might be one thing that many people complain about, but it's not often you see other people pick it up. Why would anyone want to touch garbage anyways, what if it's dirty? This got me thinking about how we as Christians are called to do the dirty work, to reach out where no one would think of or want to reach out. Do I do this enough? No, I think to often I am afraid that other people will think of me like I thought of that old man, is she crazy? Now what's so bad about being a little crazy I ask you? People thought Jesus was crazy when he mingled with tax collectors or prostitutes. Maybe we need to make being a little crazy a more common thing and not be so focused on fitting in. I dunno.

Happy Easter!

So it's Easter today hey? So I guess a Happy Easter is in check. Happy Easter y'all! Yesterday Randy and I went to see the easter drama at the mb church and wow was it ever powerful. As I was was watching I found myself asking, how could anyone not believe that this man is the Son of God after all this? How could anyone not be changed by his teachings or the life he lived? I found myself thinking of some friends who know the truth yet still refuse to believe. What will it take for them them to truely get?
After the drama we went to Randy's brother and sister in law's place and hung out and played the "dream game". I'll have to tell you about that some time. It's one of those games that once everyone knows how it goes you can't play it again. It's pretty funny.
Well... I've got one gathering to go today and I'm looking forward to it. It'll just be my family and my aunt and uncle and their three kids. Now that I'm out of school and on my own I don't see them as often as I'd like to so it should be a party!
See ya later

Exhaustion

I am sooooo exhausted right now. It seems that the weekend doesn't come soon enough. I know it's a four day work week and it should feel shorter.... but it hasn't. Today was a long and frustrating day. It just felt as if so many little things just came and smacked me in the face. Three more weeks left and I want to finish well, not tired and burnt out like I feel now. Well that's all.
