Dearest Friends

I want to take a step back from posting photographs to write something real quick.

In this world there are so many things a person can worry about; getting to work on time, who is the president, what is happening on the other side of the world, who killed who, missing the bus, who broke up with who, scraped a knee again, forgetting the laundry, not getting accepted in the X college, that guy just farted, paper cut, he/she passed away, lost my lucky coin, etc. What we all need to realize is that we all have these problems. We all have things that we could complain about because really, they are not too hard to find. Seeing the opportunity in them, now that is the challenge. This day and age is all about efficiency and speed, ignoring what it means to stop and look at the beautiful things that our God as set out for us during the day. Opportunity is all around us. When we truly embrace that, we learn to see that the “bad things,” the “tough times” don’t really exist at all. That in actuality, all these things are just simple lessons, things we can learn from in this life we are living. But with these lessons, we all, yes you, have to learn that these things are not for ourselves alone. They are meant to be shared with our fellow man, our brothers and sisters, the have been placed on this world with us. We must love one another as He loves us. It can be as simple as stopping and asking the person sitting on the corner how his/her day is going or as complex as building someone in need a new house. We must love one another and share our opportunity. Because in the end, it’s not about me, it’s not about you. It is about our Creator and loving one another while carrying out our own purpose.

So, my friends, after you read this, take some time to love and appreciate someone today. It can be your wife, your child, a friend, a family member, a hobo, a dog, or even the old lady across the street, just do it

Thank you all for reading.
