Thank you

To the couple who spends their Sunday afternoon cleaning the crumbled and left over bulletins, crushed cheerios, and hidden gum in the church auditorium. To the family who spends their hard earned money to buy groceries for a family who cannot afford it. To the teenagers who spend their afternoon preparing a birthday party for a person whom they don't even know. To the people who do the right things, even when it is inconvenient and possibly detrimental to themselves. To the parents who spend time developing their children into loved, faithful, and selfless individuals. To college students who give their time and opportunity for money to love on a bunch of teens whom they had never met prior to an interview and movement of the Holy Spirit. To the girl who smiled at me at the grocery store for absolutely no reason but to be nice ... thank you!

I was moved today by several acts of kindness that wind up being thankless and overlooked wonders. All of the things listed above have happened either to me or people I know and by people I know or have seen within the past week. I have been hurting over people who can't get themselves out of their own vision. What a beautiful thing: to be able to recognize when people do something incredible for others - all the while knowing they won't be recognized and thanked. Find a thankless job as a way to serve others - I promise it will be rewarding to you, as well!

Thank you.
