You just made a very impactful statement. "People don’t see God, they see us. We are vessels and should try to give out some good to somebody, give out hope give out encouragement." I've always understood how impactful it is to be on the receiving end of a stranger's smile. It just never occurred to me that it may be God, who's behind it…
You just made a very impactful statement. "People don’t see God, they see us. We are vessels and should try to give out some good to somebody, give out hope give out encouragement." I've always understood how impactful it is to be on the receiving end of a stranger's smile. It just never occurred to me that it may be God, who's behind it. My grown daughter has Down Syndrome and I've always marveled at her ability to be so outwardly happy to introduce herself and strike up cheerful chit-chat with strangers when we are in public. It all most always generates good vibes to all in earshot. I've always felt sad that it does not come naturally to me. I think it's because if I try that same behavior, people are sometimes suspect of an ulterior motivation and become even more protective of their privacy. Maybe the difference is that when she does it, they know it's given in absolute innocence? Anyway, Thank you.
Observant One, how fitting a name! I don’t know you, you sound like a wonderful father, and I believe it is God in your child being outgoing to strangers. It’s an amazing thing how we learn. Your post made connections with me. I am like you a bit introverted with strangers. My wife is opposite me and I’ve always been, I guess, envious of her outgoing affect towards strangers. Maybe it’s a signal to both of us, maybe we can both work on this. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me!!
