Here are some snippets of how I was inspired this weekend and today.
2/2-Saturday- It is hard to put into words how humbling and inspiring Gib Martin's Funeral was. Before we went I knew I had somewhere to be at 6, and the funeral started at 1, and I thought to myself "yeah...I may be home in time". Sure enough, we got home around 5:30. Yes, the service was 2 hours, but it was incredible. From the honest memories, the touching tributes, and the fact that there were anywhere from 600 to 800 people present, it was a moving afternoon! After the service many stuck around to re-connect with "family" and it was amazing to see.
I was inspired to live my life in a way that matters, as a person who takes time for others and who genuinely cares about their welfare. Inspiring to say the least. I hope I was able to encourage Gib's family as well as the others I reconnected with. Inspiring is a two way street, you have to take a step, reach out a hand, speak a word. Inspiring is intentional action!
2/3-Sunday- I was blessed to watch my pastor's kids before the church service and it was such an opportunity to encourage and affirm them.
2/4-Monday- I was inspired because I was able to spend more time in the profession I love--working with children with special needs in an elementary setting. I have been blown away by how many doors have been recently opened for me to ease back into the school setting, I don't take it for granted, or lightly, that I have been called and trained to help these kids grow and succeed. There are many milestones--from riding a bike to counting to 7.
I can't wait to see what the rest of the week holds.
