CUTE! :)

Cutest thing ever. Again, kids never fail to amaze me with their cuteness and excitement! :)

Pay it forward?

Why does it surprise me so much when people in the real world are nice to people?

For example, I am trying to get pre-approved for a mortgage on my dream condo. (Yes, I found one, now let's just see if it is a financially responsible decision...)

The lady I was working with last night with the numbers and figures was sooo nice. Even though she worked for the big-bad bank who could easily go about it all tough and business like and meanly come flat out and say, "Well you don't make tons of money, so know that this is going to be painful." She had such an encouraging and nice attitude. She made me feel like I did something right in this process by saving. She encouraged me not to be worried because you never know what could happen. She even said how proud of me she was for being so realistic in what I could afford.

Why is this so suprising to me? Shouldn't everyone be like this? It sounds so cliche, but what a different place the world would be if everyone went about their career this way. That woman truely made me think about how I interact with others at my job. And how I can do it better. Thanks, key bank lady! :)

WOW! Here is a link I stole from Steph. It is a church gathering meant to bridge 4 generations of people in the church. When watching this, as fun as the atmosphere was, tears came to my eyes. I think that this wonderful opportunity is lost in so many churches due to lack of understand amongst generations and the severe gaps Satan has caused. Too many times each generation is cause up in their own generational issues, that how many times do we actually take to recognize that CHRIST BRIDGES THE GAP! Check it out. You will not be disappointed.

Perspective

What an interesting way to compare and view these two things. Another reason I love Jesus. And many reasons why I need to focus this Lent on being patient with the church.
