Coincidence or God Perspective:
I was traveling back home yesterday and a young man of about 12 was going up the aisle of the plane with a bag collecting everyone's trash. First I thought, how unusual since that's the first time I ever saw someone else other than the stewardess collect leftovers! I then proceeded to have a smile grace my face and feel all warm and fuzzy instead.
This morning as I was meditating ( I more or less am quiet and let thoughts come and go or ask questions) I was thinking of what I would tell the boy. I did thank him that night but I missed the most important part until this morning. His father told me he likes to help but what did he really do for me when I smiled and had that warm fuzzy feeling? He put a smile on my heart!!!
The timing of this thought tied in with my ongoing struggle with my relationship with my boyfriend of tens year. Five years into the relationship I choose to shut off my heart and my love because I couldn't trust him and I didn't want to get hurt. (See how that works for you? ) This incident? opened my heart again and I am choosing to make the best conscious effort I can to reopen it. What do you think, coincidence or God Perspective?
Dear God,
Thank you for this gift that I want to carry in my heart at all times. May I be able to always put a smile on someone else's heart no matter what the situation. To do that, please help me always keep a smile on my own heart. I trust that you will direct my life to that purpose or any other that you have for me and all whom I come in contact with. Already I pay more attention to the threads of you in my life. I can only imagine where this journey will take me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
May this day be as glorious as you.
As always, not my will but thine be done.
