My mom was visiting teaching this lady that just has nothing. Her mom has been paying her rent for her and she is behind on her bills and has kids and no car and she just has nothing. It breaks my heart. Apparently the lady is so sweet and humble and determined to make it. She just got a job at Lowes and walks to work and just wants things to be good although things are really hard for. My mom asked her if there was anything that she could do for her. The lady thought about it a moment and said there was nothing. She would be fine and back on her feet in just a couple of paychecks and things would be good. This is what she said though. Her only wish is for a mundane life. One where she wakes up and every day is like the previous one, and everything's ok. When my mom shared this with me it caused a lot of reflection within me. How often do I complain about life being boring and every day it's the same thing? I'm getting back to I'm so blessed and so often it is just human nature to take things for granted. I wrote Nate a letter last week just telling him how grateful I am for everything and the knowledge and the opportunities that my life afford me. Anyways, that's my thought for the day. Oh, yesterday I got asked to sing in a funeral today. A lady I work with's aunt died on Saturday and apparently her favorite song was Amazing Grace and she wanted it sung at her funeral so she asked me. It came off reallt well and everyone was crying. There were only 8 other people there besides me and the people officiating. Yeah, so it turned out well. Have a fabulous day. Next time you think about how life is so boring, remember this lady who just prays for your boring life.
