Do you think sometimes we make life harder than it should be? Harder than it is? Does our perception make people seem more distant than they are? I talk to over a hundred people a day. And so many of them at the slightest invitation will share what's on their heart and mind to a total stranger. They will take comfort and drink in encouragement like it's something they have been starving for. It makes me wonder why we close ourselves off so tightly to the world around us. We're afraid of being hurt, of being seen. But maybe it's like eating dirt. A little bit of dirt a little bit of germs on things that get into our system, only make us more resilient to the next attack. Maybe a little heartache actually helps us to grow. Maybe a little discomfort helps us move out of the nest and start to fly. Sometimes I just think about people. And I want to cry. There are people in this world who think no one loves them. And that's terrible. It's good to know that somehow somwhere there is someone right now who loves me very much and could be thinking of me. The all constant love of God but also my loved ones. My Mom is getting a bed for me to sleep in when I come home. My Brother is waiting to see what my hair looks like short. My Stepdad looks forward to cooking for me. My Dad is looking forward to the hugs. These are good things. It's good to know someone sleeps better because of something I said. To know something I did today made someone's life just a little easier. I think wanting that for people is part of that secret heart of love you know? Wanting good for people, maybe even more than they want it for themselves. Just doing some thinking...
