Christ In My Neighbor

I know months ago, I wrote about the realization of how much people care.

And as I've been home, and out and about working and doing errands, I can feel the love and care flowing from people.

I had to do a lot of errands today- hanging VBS flyers around town, mailing letters and packages, making a deposit in the bank, working a bit in the church, picking up the service order for Sunday from another church, and working tonight, I've come across a LOT of people.

And I never realized how much people were really worried about me until today.

Not a single person I encountered who I haven't seen in a while said "Are you feeling better? Doing better? How are you?'

I was so overwhelmed, I was in tears by the afternoon. It meant so much to me.

You know, unless you have 3-4 "bullies" in your life running you down, making you feel bad about yourself, you don't know how much that wears on you. It's hard to know someone out there is trying to make your life miserable, having encounters of ignorance and glares from them.

But then you come into a place like this where everyone is genuine, sincere, kind.

I picture the two in my mind- these people are warm, caring, colorful, sincere- the bullies just seem unkempt, unhealthy, nasty-looking. It makes my stomach sick thinking about it.

But it is so good to be back in this environment, and to be reminded (though I still am reminded while at school) that so many people love me and care about me.

And if you're reading this post, and you care that much to be in my life, thank you, readers. I am glad to have you in my life, those of you I know, and those of you I don't.

I can truly see Christ in those who are so sincere, kind, compassionate toward me.

So many blessings from so many people today.
