Back in school ready to learn some new things,.. this summer i actually found out that i dont need to know everything and that i actually know less than i thought i knew but its ok because my name is Gino Antolino
i love to watch ppl read books and smile
the other day i was working out in my neighborly gym and saw a guy come in with these brace things on his arms to help him walk bc he was handicapped, i think his legs were too weak for him to walk on his own, well anywaz yea he was a great guy came in with a huge smile on his face saying hello to a few ppl. I had my eye on him for a while watching him climb from machine to machine working his legs. then he moved to the treadmill, it took him a lil while to get up there but he made it and started walking at a slow pace, i could tell every step was a struggle but this guy truly inspired me. i love how Christ works in my life because right there at that moment i felt a true peace in my heart ...here i was working out because i feel i need live up to some lie that manhood is only achieved by having a strong physique but here this guy was laying his pride down to come to a crowded place to build up some leg strenghth just so he could walk normal. I can walk normal but i feel im too skinny to be thankful for nothing, Lord help me as some ppl say but isnt that why im here on earth to get help and help others ..what i beautiful notion it is ......you see that guy just came to the gym not knowing that there was something much bigger going on, an examined heart and a breath of thankfulness
you see God truly is everywhere and it is up to us to point Him out
