Nothing exciting has been happening around here lately. The History Fair is on March 31st and the Science Fair is on the 26th and 27th so that'll be fun. I can't wait to see who goes on. It'll be exciting. For History Fair I get to go to school when there is no school for the Regional competition and then for Science Fair I get to miss a day of school. Yay! I guess they kind of make up for each other. Also Federation for piano is coming up this Saturday. I'll tell you how it goes but I already know. I haven't been practicing because of dance and I don't know why they decided to put my in Federation but I guess I am. And you know what? It's probably going to suck. Oh well. Piano is fun I love it.
Anyway I just was reading one of my friends myspace's profiles (because yes I do have a myspace, but I don't talk to strangers mind you) and I stumbled upon this little thing she put in her profile and I loved it. I'm going to put it here for you to read because I know it will touch your heart like it touched mine =]
Heavenly Father, help us remember that the jerk who cut us off in traffic last night is a single mother who worked nine hours that day and is rushing home to cook dinner, help with homework, do the laundry and spend a few precious moments with her children.
Help us to remember that the pierced, tattooed, disinterested young man who can't make change correctly is a worried 19-year-old college student, balancing his apprehension over final exams with his fear of not getting his student loans for next semester.
Remind us, Lord, that the scary looking bum, begging for money in the same spot every day (who really ought to get a job!) is a slave to addictions that we can only imagine in our worst nightmares.
Help us to remember that the old couple walking annoyingly slow through the store aisles and blocking our shopping progress are savoring this moment, knowing that, based on the biopsy report she got back last week, this will be the last year that they go shopping together.
Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of all the gifts you give us, the greatest gift is love. It is not enough to share that love with those we hold dear. Open our hearts not to just those who are close to us, but to all humanity. Let us be slow to judge and quick to forgive, show patience, empathy and love.
