I am so tired of plastic people. You know the folks that always act they are something that they are not. I thank the Lord everyday for ordinary people whose simple acts sometimes bring forth extraordinary events. So let me just say...
-To all the people then who pick up the trash off the ground and plant trees and flowers in its place, thank you.
-To every parent who spends the day hard at work and then goes home and makes the time to play with and read to their kids, thank you.
-To every kind heart who has ever taken in and loved a stray dog or cat, thank you.
-To every person who has ever opened their purse or wallet and given to a charity not out of duty but out of love, thank you.
-To everyone who has ever offered a ride, opened a door, or shared a smile with a stranger, thank you.
-To every good Samaritan who has stopped along the way to help a person in need, thank you.
-To every gentle spirit who has shared their laughter, encouraged a friend, or inspired another soul, thank you.
-To every single person who has tried to make this world a little better through what they do, thank you.
-And to every soul who not only knows the words "Love your neighbor as yourself" but tries to live them as well, thank you.
God doesn’t just want us to one day reach heaven some day. He also wants us to bring a little heaven down here to earth as well.
So do your best then to love and be loved, to care for others and the world around you, to create joy rather than sadness, and to help everyone you can every chance you can. Do your best to let God’s love live through you every single day.
Someone will be thanking God for you being who you are before the day is over.
