I was truly touch by the movie BLIND SIDE. I encourage anyone who has not seen it to make it a priority to see.

I have a few reflections:

We experience our true humanity when we open our hearts up completely and vulnerably to another human being.

What is giving your shirt off your back, if you dont offer your heart to them as well?

Some of us have been blessed with lots of things. Some of us dont have anything. But we are all children of God, loved, adored, and created by an AMAZING GOD. If my sister or brother doesnt have something, I know my daddy would want me to share that something with her/him. I know that if I had nothing, my daddy would want my brother/sister to share with me.

I know people always talk about leftovers from Thanksgiving. Leftover turkey sandwiches, leftover turkey soup. How about this year we dont worry about left overs? How about this year, you invite someone over whom you know wouldnt get a thanksgiving feast......and leave the tupperware in the cabinet this year.

How about next time you drive in a neighborhood you dont like or are a bit fearful of, you dont automatically lock your doors but rather stop and smile at the little kids outside playing and ask God to open your eyes to opportunities to reach out instead of segregate yourselves from them just because of fear, ignorance, and lack of understanding.

Do you have an extra room in your house? Why do you have that extra room? What do you use it for? Think about what God would want you to use that room for.

Lord help me to be aware of the needs of others and help me to be a uniting factor, not a dividing factor for the purpose of humanity. I love you and I love your children. Show me practical ways to do this ....... be a part of the KINGDOM OF GOD now! Your children all deserve the chance to become the person you desire and have designed them to be. Potential, lets all believe in the potential of each other, no matter skin color, socioeconomic status, street address, ect.

All for you, love your daughter KRISSY

Thank you LORD for pressing on the hearts of some of your children....specifically about me.....wow! You used your children to touch and change my life. You chose people who saw potential in me. Thank you. It has been a great and beautiful life!
