most contemplative Ive ever been

May 13, 2006 16:17

I have been such an ignorant person. To my friends I say Im sorry, and I say thank you with the most senserity of my heart. You have been with me, helped me, guided me, and for all its worth, I have given so little in return. Ive always thought myself to be above man, thinking others to be sinful and myself to be free of such things. Giving to only show that I can give not giving because I wish for it to make a difference.
I was walking down a street a man asked for just a dollar, so he might go into mcdonalds to buy a sandwich to survive another day. I had $10 in my pocket, I told him I was as broke as he was and wished him well. The man gave me a quarter, and said save this and youll live on. The man gave me his last quarter because I was "in desparation" like him. It was my wake up call I brought him into mcdonalds and got him a good meal. He was so thankful. I started talking to him about how is it you can continue on if the outlook is so bad. He told me to see the next day. I was figuring ah survival instinct. He told me no it was cause someday he would see his son, and get to hold him in his arms again.
Its not a matter of surviving, we are all gonna die eventually, its a matter of making a difference with the time that you have. I am a sinful man, no greater than anyone else out there, but one who has done to much self serving and is only asking for a chance to repent from such behavior. I wont say I wont do it again, because I know that man is made to sin so why so I wont when I know someday itll happen, true forgiveness is hard to give, even harder to ask for. With all that is going to happen soon and with all the things I say I will do I thank all of you for your support.
