Default Warm And Fuzzy Inside

I was at the local free book store, the library (it really is a great place) and something happened. I was browsing an aisle and heard a man trying to read a sentence. So, I looked up and saw this adult male with a woman and she was teaching him how to read. I could really sense just how bad he wanted to read, and she was showing such poise and patience with him. I stood back for a couple minutes and watched this miracle in progress.

I think this happened for a reason. Why you ask?

Just a few days later, one of my co workers and I were talking. She is going thru some troubled times, and I have offered an ear whenever she needed one. I mentioned that she has a purpose on this earth. She is a single mother of 2, etc etc..

Today, she came up to me and said I have a purpose. I immediately thought of that man learning to read. So, I went to the local library and signed up to become a volunteer to help those who can't read to learn the craft that will not only help them but help me as well. It will help them, we all know that. It will also benefit me, it will be a small way for me to give back to society.

I can HONESTLY say right now I feel better bout myself then I have in a LONG, LONG time. God works in funny ways.

Later
