Today as I was headed to the grocery store two beautiful things happened. I saw pure love and kindness. While headed to the grocery store I saw two police officers helping an old man with his groceries, this made my eyes open, it reminded me that there are good people, that the world is not as bad as social media portrays it to be. Then as I headed home from the store I was getting on to M37 and a car had broke down in the middle of the street, at first I did not realize what was going on I just thought it was traffic then I saw three large guys running my direction at first I was scared, then I realized they were coming to help push the broken down car. That feeling of being scared automatically change to a smile, my heart was warm. God answered the prayer I had been praying for months, the one where I asked for hope. I was so close to pushing grocery shopping off for another days task but something told me to go today. I realized I have been living my life on cruise control, I was not including God into my everyday life, this is when I started losing hope. Once I turned off cruise control and breathed God showed me to incidents social media or the news would not put on a headline. It was pure love and kindness. It was God shining his light on the world I was losing hope in. God answered my prayer his answer was “yes.” Yes the world still has goodness, love and kindness. Yes things will get better, but yes it will take time. As I was writing this the dogs began to brake I got up and looked out my window to see a man saving a baby bird in the street. This world is not as bad as we may think. If you are still reading this I challenge you to be the person that shines Gods light.
