Living an Impacting Life

Have you ever thought about how you, as one human being, can have some sort of significant impact on another person’s life? I think about it all of the time. Each day when I wake up, I ask God to show me whose life I can personally touch that day in such a way that would bring joy to his/her heart. So, for the past few days, I have deliberately phoned two restaurant managers to purposefully compliment service and/or food, and I did it so that neither the server, nor the chef were aware of my actions. I stopped on purpose to attend to a man who was hit by a car, however, he died anyway, so sad. I stopped everything I was doing to just sit and look a child in the eye while he pontificated about a truck, and he had many other stories as well. I have offered hug, a prayer, and a listening ear, and all for the sheer delight that my heart receives to demonstrate caring towards others. I took the time to share in my son’s winning baseball game, to sheepishly bowl with my other son and his girlfriend, and to sit and watch the wonder of little children playing with their parents-What joy my heart is feeling. I truly am so blessed as I watch carefully like a calculating spy, to find just the right moment in time, and just the right person to reach out and touch in a secret way. I love my life!
