i've been setting up for the fall festival at my church and there's this guy that attends our spanish church that's also been helping all day long. so my mom asked him to go and get some chairs [that was around 5 pm] and when he came to deliever them my mom asked him "bet you won't come to voluenteer anymore" she asked jokingly and he knew it but how he replied amazed me because i haven't thought about this once today. he said "no. *laugh* i do all things for the Lord..." i can't remember exactly, but it was just neat to see how he probably hadn't complained on how HOT it is today, or how thirsty he was or how many laps he's made around the church. he acted as if he had just gotten there and was put to work.
it was amazing.
i don't know, it just made me realize that i need to think more like him. just be positive and do stuff for the Lord, not just because the church needed people to help out. and i shouldn't be complaining on the weather. everybody else is just as hot, thirsty and whatever as i am. who am i to complain?
augh this is making me feel kinda guilty. lol. i have a terrible problem with complaining, like about work chores school and stuff. but at this point itd be really hard to stop cuz everyone expects it and would be like :O if i didnt complain about something. UGH.
ReplyDeletenah, i understand. i complain about A LOT...but all the spanish people at my church normally help out and i normally don't hear them complain. it's just amazing. idk...i was just like "woah."
