Been Thinking
I am not even sure how to put this into words. I feel that life is taking a new direction and I am meant to do something that makes a difference in other people's lives. I know that it makes no sense, but...here is an example. I went out to dinner tonight with a couple of friends. There were quite a few leftovers, so I took them with me to eat the next couple of days. It was a lot of food - mashed potatoes, cinnamon rolls, 3 pieces of fried chicken. This was a delicious meal, and I could have completely stuffed myself with another full fried chicken dinner. After dropping the girls at their car, I headed home. On one of the street corners, a homeless guy was asking for food, not money. I gave him one of my leftover cinnamon rolls. I got back to my apartment, changed my clothes, and then headed back out to my car - with the entire bag of leftovers. I drove in a big circle, just to get back to the same corner. The guy was so grateful and kept saying "God Bless You." And, I felt that this was important, and this was...I wish I had the words. I am not trying to make myself look good by writing this for all to see. I feel like I just had to get out the feelings and now realize that there are no words to explain how I felt. All I knew was that someone needed that food more than I did, and I knew that I would have not been able to fall asleep until I had delivered that food. I just knew that it was something I needed to do. I am not sure if you will understand, I am not sure I understand it myself.

Stacy - that is the spirit and you let it guide you today. Keep looking for that prompting and soon you will realize that it happens all the time. It is always good when we step outside of ourselves and we are called to help each other. Help each other - that does not ever mean that we think we are better or worse than someone else, it just means to help each other when you see a need! I am glad you were blessed in your action. love ya vicky
