Just a crazy week it has been knowing that Thanksgiving came up on me real fast. I had to take a Greyhound bus trip from Bloomington,IL to Birmingham, Alabama with stops along the way and it was a long one but honestly it was a time for me to reflect on the wonderful glory that the Lord has given to me through my family not to mention just the amazing things that our Lord does in and through our lives. So I thought about that a lot throughout the whole bus trip down to Alabama and I really want to make my desires focus on relationships just not for the Holiday Traditions and that is why I tend to not be as exited for Holiday Traditions then I am for sharing Gods Glory, life, testimonies, pain, struggles w/ people. This topic of relationship dawn on me during one certain situation I had with someone at one of the bus terminals and it occur when I was standing outside shortly before everyone had to board onto the bus that was about to be moving towards my destination and the guy that I was standing next to asked me if I was interested in buying some jewelry and I immediately told him no, then he said that he was $10.00 short of getting a bus ticket then I realized that right after I told him no that I was buying any jewelry from him I realized that I had exactly $10.00 in my wallet and here this guy was trying to give something of the best value that he had just to get something of lesser value which was the bus ticket and this whole situation brought a testimony in my life by teaching me that in life whether we want to believe it or not we need to give up more valuable things of ours just for someone else to have joy when we could of just had the same joy by having what was most valuable to us at that certain time that we then at that time gave to someone in need I mean that is ministry and that's what God loves about his believers and FOLLWERS on Earth and that is what I am trying to plant into my spirit this Holiday Season of 2008, just remembering that testimony on my trip to Alabama.
