Watching the Oscar winning movie, 'The Blind Side' tonight brought out emotions in me that I find are hard to get a grip on. I cried at the thought of someone not having any clothes or a place to sleep or having someone to worry why they're not home. It made me so unbelievably grateful for all that I have. I am truly blessed.
Do I want more, well in truth - yes! It'd be a bare-faced lie if I said otherwise. But part of me wanting more is also to do more and give more. I am a selfish person really. I don't really do much for others less fortunate than myself.
I don't take seriously the opportunities given to me and this is going to change if I want to head somewhere to enable more in my life. This is going to open the doors I need opening in order to give back to someone.
The thought of adopting a child is even more appealing now. Knowing that it could change some lonely neglected or abandoned child's life. WOW! What a privilege. Maybe one day I will actually get the chance to do something like that.
First though... I need to change my heart and open it wide.
