I forgot to tell you about the young man I saw at the St. Louis Cardinals' baseball game. This boy looked to be between ten and twelve years old. He particularly caught my attention because he rode in a motorized wheel chair. He was able to operate the chair with his right hand. He was a very good driver, I might add. I wondered what his story was and what his current condition was and what the future would hold for him. The striking part about this boy was the smile he wore on his face. His father, I assume, walked next to his as the passed by me. Without being an obnoxious 'stareball' I watched he and his dad for a few moments longer. Their interaction was cute and there was no doubt of their love for one another.
I feel extremely blessed because of the people all around me in this world. I don't know most of the people but their situations are all so different. What a blessing it is to have people who hit their challenges 'head-on' and strive to do the best that they can for the specific situation that they call, their life.
Sunday brings me great comfort. I try to make it a day that is noticeably different from all other days of the week. It is a valuable time to spend with our family and to feel of each other's love. I want to be a good example of a follower of Jesus Christ. I want to be a person who takes my situation, of a great life, and help bless the lives of other people. I want to be like the young man at the ball game who smiled in his own circumstances and in turn blessed my life for good. It is my sincere desire to be all that I can be and help those whose heads hang low. There are blessings all about us and I know that our Heavenly Father will bless those who bless my life...there are many who do.
