How to have a lovely day :)

There are some days I feel like I'm in such a hurry that I miss out on some of the things listed here, but you can be sure today won't be one of them :)

Spreading Jesus

Today, I was studying at the library late in the afternoon in an area designated for students with signs on tables that read "Quiet Area". Soon enough I started hearing whispers turn into chatters that were clearly audible and looked up to find two high school-looking girls sitting four tables across from me. So I looked across and tried to figure out what about their conversation was so interesting and managed to hear one of the girls speaking about Jesus. She was telling her friend that Jesus came to earth and died on the cross for us because he loved us...this put a big smile on my face.

It reminded me that in a world so perverse and cynical there are still many genuine people trying to spread the love of God. So it inspired me to tell someone about the good things Jesus did for us because of his love and maybe this way I'll inspire someone else too.

Quote of the day:

We must never think any one of us is indispensable. God has His ways and means. God may allow everything to go upside down in the hands of a very talented and capable person. Unless the work is interwoven with love, it is useless. God will not ask that person how many books he has read but God will ask him if he has done his best for the love of Him. -Mother Teresa.

I write this mainly for myself since I love to read. More specifically I like to read books that help me understand people better, relationships, books that really help me be a better person to everyone around me. Except that for everything in life there's a season and when my time of reading these types of books comes to a nice end I will need to put them away nicely and fully practice everything that I've learned...I think I like that idea very much and I look forward to practicing it all :)

And fall begins...

It's the 21st of September and along with the release of the iphone 5, fall season begins! That means lots of warm drinks and leaves falling officially starts(: I absolutely love this time of year! Schools have all started back up again, the rain will be sure to hit soon and while we wait for winter and all of it's majestic glories what better way to start off this season than with a warm cup of pumpkin spice latte? One of my favorite drinks from starbucks, it reminds me of everything fall; cinnamon, apples, pine cones, and of course pumpkins! Although it may seem pretty plain to look forward to the rain coming in this year we'll never be happy if we don't learn to enjoy the seemingly ordinary things. In fact Solomon said so himself, "Behold, what I have seen to be good and fitting is for one to eat and drink, and to find enjoyment in all the labor in which he labors under the sun all the days which God gives him- for this is his [allotted] part." -Ecclesiastes 5:18 So I think, at least for today, that latte is my allotted part :p

The Fair

 Fairs are always fun to go to but they're especially nice when you don't feel overcrowded by people. So two days ago I decided to take my mom out when the sun was setting for some much needed mother-daughter time! Also, I believe it was her first time going so I enjoyed watching her look at everything in amazement. Her and I are kind of the same. We love to see other people enjoy their time and just take everything in so we ordered some corn dogs and walked around talking about life, taking pictures and eating junk food :p We don't need to get on a ride and trigger an adrenaline rush to enjoy the fair, we only need to be there right in the middle of it all and that's enough(: At one point we sat on a bench and just looked around. She mentioned how it's odd to think that there are so many people all in one place yet every one's in their own little world. To end the night we got on the ferris wheel and took a look at the entire park from above before leaving and looking down you could see people laughing, others arguing...it really is true that every one's in their own little world. But for the moment, we were enjoying ours. At another point we watched how a little girl and her dad played hop scotch together right in front of our bench and I saw my mom filled with smiles. Conversations with her are always sweet, happy heart.(: We got home later that night two very sleepy ladies ready for bed and that was all. Time goes by fast, and relationships are important so invest in yours as much as you can and treat people like it's your last day on this earth...because so far, it is.
