Rain Sleet and Even Snow...

No I'm not talking about the Post Office it's the weather in Ohio. Good grief this is crazy....why can't it just snow. But anyways I haven't done this for awhile cause of the holidays and what not but now I'm back.

Christmas is really a wonderful time of year to see friends, family, and celebrate the birth of Jesus. Although Jesus wasn't really born during December it's the thought that counts. Don't worry this isn't one of those you shouldn't have Christmas tree's speeches I just like Christmas and wanted to say mine was great.

I came back to the office after the holiday and got a message from a kid I met this summer. It's not important who, what, where, when, and how just met them. The message talked about some things they had been going through in life, rejection, loneliness, and being ignored by their youth pastor. These things all lead them down a road that should never be gone down, I'm not talking about suicide but it does involve pain. So I wrote them back, gave them some Bible verses, and an encouraging word. Not that I'm the end all be all of motivational speakers but it was the best thing I knew to do. The letter I got back said thank you for the support I really needed it I'm not sure why I told you those things but I needed to get them off my chest or something to that effect. This got me thinking what if I had not commented on their status, or returned the letter. Maybe they would have talked to someone else or just gotten over it. But there is the chance it would have gotten worse they could have stopped walking with the Lord or seriously hurt themselves, the what ifs are endless. The point is this was a God thing Myspace Status isn't something i look at very often, and I seldom comment on it. But from some reason that afternoon I logged on looked at status updates saw one that was strange for the person writing it and made a comment. All I'm saying is God was in it I may never hear from this person again or they could write me tomorrow but i know that I answered God's call that day to comment on a status. It wasn't hard at all in fact it took little effort on my part but it could have made all the difference in the world. I'm not writing this to puff myself up, instead all I'm saying is watch for the little things God has you to do they could make a world of difference.
