Who Have You Inspired?!?

There is so much happening in our world today. So many people experiencing so much tragedy, struggle, and strife. I'm very sensitive to the needs and feelings of others so I find myself praying a lot. However, this has also heightened my awareness to the small but powerful blessings and miracles that I see and experience everyday. Angels show up in the strangest places sometimes. Today I was fortunate enough to take my dad to the doctor. While I was there waiting for him to finish up, a very nice elderly man sat next to me and started a conversation.

About an hour had passed and we were still waiting, he was waiting on his wife and I was waiting on my dad. Somewhere after me learning his family history and about his children and grand kids he said something to me that I will carry forever.  He leaned over and said God sees you and what you are doing. I was taken back for a moment not sure what he was actually saying. Then he said you will be blessed. Sure, I've had people tell me this before but not like this. What was it about this man who so easily opened his world up to me, a stranger? I got up to see if my dad was ready and just like that he was gone.

Yes, his wife could have been ready and they left without me noticing, is it possible? Sure, but highly unlikely. What am I suggesting? That when we allow ourselves to open up our world to new people and experiences sometimes that's all that is needed for us to blessed emotionally and spiritually. I've learned so much about life this way and how to find the smallest thing and be grateful for that.

Today I didn't feel fat, I felt free. Free to dream, free to believe that I can have whatever and be whatever, free to experience life, and free to love and be loved!! I open up my world to people everyday so that I'm not the only one experiencing this freedom and joy! So many people have asked me what is the meaning of love. I can only offer my definition. Love is the selfless act of putting someone Else's needs, feelings, and well-being before your own. Love to me, is pure and selfless. So my questions to you are; who are you loving today and whose life have you touched on this journey? Just food for thought. You will be amazed at how easy it is to inspire or spark life in someones situation. :)
