Ordinary People

Let’s see if I can still do this.

Can I throw a question out there to the world? Have you ever looked in the mirror, saw yourself and thought I should be changing the world?

I did that today, I stared at myself and just imagine the world if I was a better person. I can’t but help but have this feeling that I can make a difference, like I can change the way the world works. I know that no man can do want I am envisioning, but I can get this thought out my head.

So everyone that reads this what do you think, can one man be the change the world needs? Can it be possible for one person to light a torch that would set the world on fire? Is there someone out there that can make us believe in a better world?

Jackie Robinson, Martin Luther, Dr. Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, John Kennedy, Apostle Paul, Gandhi, Oskar Schindler, Harriet Tubman, Moses, Wright Brothers, Graham Bell, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Lincoln, Catherine of Siena

Maybe one person can, the difference between me and those 17 mentioned above, I don’t know, maybe it is passion, desire, love of my fellow man, and honor. Maybe the only thing stopping me from changing the world is me. NOW WHAT IS STOPPING YOU?

Your Happy is too Loud (Happy Thanksgiving)

This year my Thanksgiving Day post is dedicated to the both of us, to you and me to all the people out there searching for their happy.

 But may the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; may they be happy and joyful. Psalm 68:2-4

My Thankfulness:

Recently I had a discussion with some of my co-workers about their thanksgiving day traditions, and it made me miss the traditions I had as a kid, the time spent at my grandparents house, enjoying my family, so that is what I am thankful for the year. This leads to what I am thankful for this year; traditions. I asked someone the other day why do we pig out on thanksgiving, there reply “because that is how the pilgrim and Indians (Native Americas) celebrated thanksgiving’’, yes I laughed inside. This person, reach deep and decided we must pig out because it is tradition that on Thanksgiving Day we must pig out, because the Pilgrim and Indians did it, of course I reminded that person that they also later killed each other, she joked, “just like in my family”. The funny thing is with the evolution of our country, the changing times we live in, for one day we want to sit down with each other and pig out over the harvest, it is who we are, it is our tradition.  Therefore whatever traditions you enjoy, use it today to be happy.

Your Happy:

When president Lincoln finally proclaim in 1863 that we have a national Thanksgiving Day, the tradition became not just about harvest or Christian values but about a nations, the funny thing about Abraham, is he was not born a Christian nor did he take in the beliefs when he became president it is said that it was after Gettysburg and his address that he being devoting himself to Christian beliefs. In the saddest of time, Lincoln sought his happy. There are some that would say he was the greatest President, because of how he guided our country though it’s dark days, the Civil War, even after losing a kid.  Now I turn to you; what dark days are you living though? What is holding your heart? What are you struggling with? You too can find your happy, you can break though, start today on this Thanksgiving Day, make every day special, it is not about the big moments of life, but all the little ones.

I am thankful for the tradition of making every day special, and if you are wondering why make this my Thanksgiving Day post, I ask why not.

Belong?

We accept the life we thing we deserve;

Hi old friend;

I’m writing you because I woke up this morning thinking about you.

How is life treating you? What is making you happy these days? Who is bringing a smile to you face? Sorry for all the questions, I just noticed you were sad, that you were searching for something. I saw a picture of you the other day and your smile was so beauty, I hear you have lost it, maybe there is something that can bring it back.

Me, well I have been floating though life, like a leaf in the wind. It took me to some pretty cool places, watching the sunrise in the mountains, the sunset on the beach. Did I make to Miami? no, but I am better for not going, I am pretty close to God, which wouldn’t have happened had I made it there. Yes, I am still single, no wife or kids, but that is good. My job is ok it kind of pays the bills; I wish I had better, but for now it will be okay.

Enough about me; my real reason for writing is to ask you if you still believe everyone has a destiny? We use to look at the stars and talk about how each one had its place, and that we are the same way, that we are destiny to find our place. I my friend am having a hard time with my place; I can’t find where I belong.  So one last question; did you find yours? Are you where you belong? Can you help me?

I smile

He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy.  Job 8:21

Joy by definition is a deep feeling or condition of happiness or contentment. So when I ask you if you have Joy, What will you say? Will you look in your life, and see the struggle, the pain and the sorrow? Could you look deep inside yourself and know that everything happens for a reason and that God has you? 

Hands:
No matter what you are going though, you don’t have to worry; joy is come in the morning.
A friend of mine asked me the other day to write something happy, and I struggled to write something, I split out happiness, but I found it horrible that I couldn’t point out happiness deep inside. I find it weird because just last weekend I had an amazing time making new friends and catching up with old ones, those moments I know brings me Joy, so why the hard time writing. Well it dawns on my today that my biggest problem was when I sat down, my heart was burden with a thought, with a struggle, with a problem I was trying to solve alone. Today I realized it was not in my hands, that I have to let go, pray and let him work. My life is and shall always be in God’s Hands.

Storms:

Life events can take away our happiness, like a tornado ripping though the plains; we must equip ourselves to make it till the end. I have never looked in the sky after a storm and not seen the sun, after the clouds go away it is always there, therefore I believe that it never leaves, we just can’t see it. Same with life storms the Son is always there we just can’t always see Him; we must know he is there for us always. He will never leave us.

Breathe:

Today I relaxed and took time to take a deep breath and a thought made me laughed, a person smile and a moment gave me Joy. That is the key when we feel the Joy leaving and the sorrow taking over, take that breath; and smile.

Control

If you let me I will turn off the lights.

If you let me I will fulfill all your dreams.
If you let me I will kiss you down.
If you let me I will spin you around.
If you let me I will make you lose control.

If you let me I will feel your body yearn.

If you let me I will reach inside your soul.
If you let me I will flip you from left to right.
If you let me I will turn you on.
If you let me I will make you lose control.

Can I light your fire,

and feel you passion?
Can I learn your softy spots,
and make you moan?
Can I spend the night,
and love you right?
Can I be your guide,
and make you lose control?

Happiness

The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness.

You have to catch it.

One look into her eyes;

One smile my way;
One glance;
One word: Hi
 

Two days in her arms;

Two months of joy;
Two years;
Two words: marry me

Two lives together.

Two hands at an altar
One forever
One word: happiness

 

 

In God Hands

Is there a place I belong?

a place that I can feel safe from harm

a place where I can lay and have my tears wiped away

a place to keep me warm

a place to calm my storm

a place I can never be sad

a place to come when I am mad

a place I can find peace

a place to let go of my pain

a place to share the warmth of my smile

a place to look up and see my future?
