Today's Inspiration

A single thread in a tapestry
though its color brightly shines
can never see its purpose
in the pattern of the grand designand the stone that sits up on the very top
of the mountain's mighty face
does it think that it's more important
than the stones that forms the base
So how can you see what your life is worth
or where your value lies
oh, you can never see through the eyes of man you must look at your life
look at your life through heaven's eyes
through heaven's eyes
A lake of gold in the desert sand
is less than a cool fresh spring
and to one lost sheep, a shepard boy
is greater than the richest king
should a man lose everything he owns
has he truly lost his worth
or is it the beginning
of a new and brighter birth
So how do you measure the worth of a man
in wealth or strength or size
in how much he gained or how much he gave
the answer will come to him who tries 
to look at his life through heaven's eyes
through heaven's eyes
and that's why we share all we have with you
though there's little to be found
when all you've got is nothing
there's lots to go around
No life can escape being blown about
by the winds of change and chance
and though you never know all the steps
you must learn to join the dance
you must learn to join the dance

I met a stranger on the bus today.  I was just sitting there minding my own business.  I was listening to my music and thinking a lot about the gospel.  I guess it must have shown on my face because the stranger came to me and told me that he just had to come say hi - that I had a clear, beautiful light and energy about me.  I wanted to shout out to him, "IT'S THE GOSPEL LIGHT!"  

I didn't, but I couldn't help step off of the bus with an extra bounce in my step.  A stranger.  Came up to ME and told me he thought I was beautiful.  He talked to me about service and sharing with other people and how it is the most satisfying feeling in the world.  It fulfills some of soul's deepest desires. To some that may seem creepy, but it wasn't.  It was a miracle!  

See, we are all in this world together, ya know?  Each of us with our own story and paths, but we are continuously effecting the lives of others!  It's such a glorious concept to me.  

I am grateful for that stranger, and that he took the time to share some of his light with me. 

 We all have so much to give!

  "There's a lot to go around."
