What will be Remembered?

"They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel." - Carl Buechner

      I absolutely love this quote! This is so true, because I can remember the way people have made me feel (good or bad) a lot longer than I am able to remember the exact words that they spoke. As people we really need to consider this daily, because if you simply give a stranger a dirty look it could hurt their feelings. My grandma taught me to smile at someone, and that it could possibly make a difference in their day. I know that I feel really good after a stranger performs a random act of kindness towards me. God wants us to love others and when we love relatives, friends, and strangers what we did is something that could stick with them for the rest of their lives. I love to recall all the nice things that people have done for me, because it reminds me of how loved I am. This quote reminds me of a story in the bible. “The Feeding of the Five Thousand” is about how a little boy gave up his lunch, Jesus prayed over it, and the food multiplied to feed five thousand people. In the bible it doesn't say what the boy said, but it did mention his act of kindness. Although we don't know his name he will always be remembered for what he sacrificed. Without that act of service, we wouldn't have the story "The Feeding of the Five Thousand." See God will use your actions! Let God be your focus of life and maybe you will be remembered for your acts of love.
