2010-HOW THANKFUL ARE YOU (PrayersThoughts_PiecesofMe_AlwaysMeKelly)
Today 9-15-2010 marks 70 days until Thanksgiving 2010.
Now some are gonna whine and say don't remind me. Others ask whats the point and some are looking forward to sharing a time with family and loved ones; Giving thanks for every blessing they have received this year. Even despite some hard times along the way.
Well can I tell you and I know some people get offended or upset when I use this analogy.
But if I were to leave this earth tomorrow; I have no regrets of my life.
It has been full with ups, with downs; with so much unknown. It has been full of so many wonderful people and even those who didn't mesh with my personality or were not so wonderful. I have learned from.
I could list the hard times I have endured from the time I was able to walk up until yesterday. WHAT WOULD BE THE POINT!
I am blessed to get up another day to live and breath and even reflect on those would of should of could of things.
Yes there are many. The tears of pain, real physical pain through heart felt pains that I thought I wanted to kill me to make go away.
Or the tears of emotion seeing new born babies come into this world; seeing my children grow up and make a life for themselves;
seeing beautiful places and meeting so many beautiful people. You know the ones that just open their mouths and your drawn like a magnent with the message they are sharing and love that flows so freely.
Colors I have always been a colors person; loving just about everything thing and everyone. And being in awe when I go out into the gulf of Mexico with nothing but miles of ocean around or up in the moutians up north.
There is so much for me to still see this I know. But one thing I personally am thankful for everyday of my life.
Is for all I have experienced and all I have seen. And the vision and desire to put my one little me speck back out there and try to make things better for those that are being blinded or consumed and can not see and appreciate even a minute of good.
So I may make a differance today or not at all tomorrow. But I can say and maybe this is where my being selfish comes in. But like a rush of excitement and anticipation. When you know you can do something for someone that matters. Is what it is all about.
So it doesn't have to be big; it doesn't have to be planned. Just do it! You know PAY IT FORWARD... Every single day. And on those days that you just can't. And man I get them too. Just remember to give the thanks back to the one who has blessed you to be alive and be who you are and know there is Freedom of choice, Freedom of Will. So if you don't like how your life is working out, change it don't quit it; don't just be like everyone else. Dare to be different!
I have been there done that; more times then I care to reflect upon. And I have always been out there Heart and Soul. I am me Always me Kelly. I love; I laugh; I live; being happy and being saddened by things I would never expect.
But I AM Because I was blessed and given life by the sacrafice our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ died and blessed us all with.
Believe it or not that is not my to do or point. It is what it is.
My point is over the years and it has taken me many to realize we own nothing.
We are blessed with everything we allow to consume us.
Yet some of us due to all kinds of reasons lose their blessings, never had the education to know they even had them or health / wealth and circumstances out of their control make them in need. I personally learned long ago not to judge. Because my friend every single one of us live in a glass house. And you know that thing for every action is a reaction. Well that reaction of your judgment may just take your glass palace to the ground.
So Be kind always even when you don't want to.
Be free to give when you have the abilities. You can't take it with you. And it does not have to be money or material items. It could be a helping hand, a quiet ear to listen and not speak. A true I love you for who you are! You are not alone and you are loved.
Well I am thankful for anyone taking the time to read this post. I hope it gives you meaning and puts a smile on your face.
For years I have gotten into volunteering. With the City of Tampa, just with people or friends, with my church CCW and I personally can tell you time is more valuable then any dollar. I am a passionate person in everything I take on. And I believe that passion is a blessing and is what has carried me through.
But last year my passion stepped up when dear friends asked if I wanted to be part of taking home cooked boxed meals out to those living on the streets or in low income areas on Thanksgiving day. This is not handing out food for some to go home and cook. We gave them a meal. And I still remember with my granddaughter one man thanking us because they did not know how they were going to feed their children that day.
The little things are nothing compared to those crippling people right in our own back yard.
This year we are gearing up and planning to reach out right here in Spring Hill. A need that is far greater then most of us care to look at.
So far just in the 34606 zip area there have been 15 families displaced and lost their homes all with children. So far and we just started investigating there have been 76 students getting up and going to school for a better day that are currently considered homeless in Spring Hill.
I am sure there are more. Because I know coming from a single parent low income no income home. You just don't broadcast your not like everyone else.
In fact most will fight and do everything in their power; right , wrong or considered crazy to prove they can be like what is so called acceptable and normal.
My point for me maybe I will be a light to someone so they are blessed to do things God's way and not the ways of the world that are forced upon us.
So we are planning as mentioned and will know soon. Exactly which area's we will be cooking, boxing and taking food to.
And let them know they are loved.
Along with that I personally will be considering and praying just what would it take to adopt some of these folks for Christimas and get them in touch and share the meaning of Thanks and Gods love.
This will take effort. On my part and anyone who wants to come along. My goal is not to buy the needs of others. But get together an informational packet to help them network out to get back on their feet.
There are many that will eat a meal no matter what; but only some will really reach out to make that change that takes their own effort and desires.
There is a great need! I pray that others also dare to make a change.
I am thankful even if I fail that I can try one soul at a time.
Much love in Christ
