Thoughts

It is amazing how truly blessed we are in this country and sometimes we need to take a moment to reflect on those blessings. I remember growing up in the deep South when so many things were denied to African Americans. We could not drink out of certain water fountains or eat at certain counters or ride anywhere on the bus. Yet, this was in a country which was supposed to be founded on the principles of all men being created equal. It is these life experiences that have made me grow stronger and reflect on what is really important. It is also these life experiences that have shaped me where I want to ensure that everyone is indeed treated equallly. I want to make a positive change in this world by doing what I can. I want to use my skills and abilities and the knowledge that I have to make a positive changed. I have learned to reflect on what is important. It is the small things that sometimes we least think about that bring so much joy such as the smile on a baby's face or the wisdom from a senior citizen, the ability to hear a bird chirp or or see a beautiful sun rising in the morning, the ability to thank God for all the rich blessings that HE has bestowed upon us. But often we are too busy with the hustle and bustle of our every day lives to just inhale and say THANK YOU LORD FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE!!
