Me and Annette |
Inspired to Do
Something
After
yesterday’s post, I heard from a veritable plethora of readers (boatload of y’all,)
saying that they were moved and inspired by the actions of the students I had
written about.
My
sister/friend Annette wrote to me and said “Yes I was crying. And it has
inspired me to do something.”
I thought
about her words and then about her. Annette is inspiration. She has had several
very serious health battles and each time, she emerges smiling and
thankful.
Annette is
the person who asked if I would donate a kidney to a friend. How could I say no?
It’s as if God asked me to save a
life. And that’s just what happened, because if you can’t see God in your
brothers and sisters who you can see, how will you see this invisible life
force that holds us together.
Last week,
when I was getting a little agitated with the pace of donor process, I called Annette
who told me that I had a right to be agitated and even angry, then she told me
to get back on the horse and do whatever is needed to save a life.
When I got
up this morning, I was thinking about Annette and this question;
If you could
have access to one of those airplanes that writes in the sky and the pilot that
knew how to fly it; what message would you write today?
Keep in
mind; you will be signing the messages (oh how the story changes when we know
the author.)
·
What’s
your message to others?
·
How
would your message inspire?
·
What
would it say about you?
Be well, be wonderful,
be inspired.
