I am a mother of three children and recently completed my college degree. The last class I had to take was Sociology. The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities I expect every person memilikinya.MENCINTAI PEOPLE, BY USING PROPERTY-LITTLE THINGS THAT WE HAVE, and instead of LOVE PROPERTY-OWNED ITEMS ARE NOT WE, THE PEOPLE USING!
The wise man said: A lot of people coming and going from life, but only 'a wise friend' that will leave Footprints in your heart.
The last task given to the students was named "Smiling." All students are asked to go outside and give smile to the three strangers who met and documented the reaction them. After that each student was asked to make presentation front of the class. I am a jovial, very friendly and always smiling at everyone. So, I think, this task is easy.
After receiving the task they will be, I rushed to see my husband and children My youngest is waiting in the garden in the courtyard campus, to go kerestoran McDonald's are located around campus. The morning air was very cold and dry. As my husband will go in the queue, I interrupted and asked that he only said that accompany the Youngest looking for an empty seat.
When I'm in the queue, waiting to be served, sudden everyone around us move away, and even those the original line up behind me come out of the way out from the queue.
A feeling of panic in me, when it turned around and saw why are they all on out? When I turned around I smelled a horrible "dirty body odor" is enough to sting, was right behind me stood two homeless men a very filthy! I'm confused, and unable to move at all.
When I looked down, my eyes accidentally looked at the man who Shorter, who was standing closer to me, and he was "Smile" towards me. This man blue-eyed, sharp eyes, but also emit affection. He looked towards me, as if he asked me to can receive a 'presence' on the ground.
He said "Good day!" While still smiling and while counting prepared a few coins to pay for food to be ordered. Spontaneously I replied to her smile, and instantly recalled by My 'task' given by my lecturers. The second man is played his hand with a strange movement stood behind his friend. I soon realized the second man was suffering from a deficiency mental, and the man with blue eyes it is a "rescue" her. I feel deeply concerned after learning that turns in the queue I now only live with them, and only three of us tiba2 had reached the front counter.
When the young woman at the counter asked me what I want My message, I do persilah these two men to order first. Blue-eyed men immediately ordered "Coffee is one Ms. cup. "Apparently the coin that was collected can be purchased by them (the restaurant has become the rule here, if want to sit in the restaurant and warm up, then people have to buy something). And apparently these two people just want keep warm. Tiba2 course I was attacked by a sense of pity that I could make stunned for a moment, while my eyes followed their steps find a place to sit that far apart from other tamu2, that almost all of them were watching them. At the same time, I just realized that while all eyes in the restaurant It is also being drawn to me, and would also look at all 'Action' me.
I realized after the officer at the counter to greet me third time, asked me what I want messages. I smiled and asked to be given two packages of breakfast (outside my order) in a separate tray.
After paying all the orders, I requested the help of other officers there at the counter for my order to deliver trays table / seats my husband and son. While my Another walk with a tray wrapped around the corner towards the table has selected two men to rest. I put tray of food on his desk, and put my hands on the back of his palm cold blue bemata that, while I say "have I ordered food for you two."
Return the blue eyes staring in my direction, now began to eye kaca2 wet air and he could only say "Thank you very much, madam."
I tried to keep my composure, as he patted my shoulder said: "Surely not me who did this to you, God is also to be around here and have been whispering something ketelinga me to deliver this food to you. "
Hear my words, Blue Eyes did not resist the emotion and The second man hugged sobbing. At that time I wanted to grabbed the two men.
I have been unable to keep from crying when I walk leave them and join my husband and my son, who not far from their seats. When I sat my husband I tried to ease my tears with a smile and said "Now I know why God sent you to be my wife, certainly, to provide 'shelter' for myself and my children 2ku! " We were holding hands for a moment and then we benar2 grateful and realize that just because the 'whisper' is we have able to take advantage of 'opportunity' to be able to do something for somebody others who are in desperate need.
When we are eating food, starting from the guests who will leaving the restaurant and was followed by several other guests, they one by one over to our table, to simply want to 'shake hands' with us.
One of them, a father, holding my hand, and say "Your hand has provided an expensive lesson for us all who are here, if one day I was given opportunity by Him, I will do as you have had demonstrated to us. "
I can only say "thank you" with a smile. Before I left the restaurant a time to look towards The second man, and if there is a 'magnet' that connects the inner us, they immediately turned towards us with a smile, then 2kan waved his hand towards us. On the way home my reflect back what I have done against the two men homeless before, it benar2 'action' that never occurred to me. The experience that day showed me how 'love love 'God is so WARM and So BEAUTIFUL!
I returned to college, on the last day of class with the 'story' this hand. I gave up my 'paper' I told my professor. And next day, before starting my college My professors were called to the front of the class, he looked at me and said, "Can I share this story with others?" I gladly agreed. When will start his lecture he draw the attention of the class to read my paper. He began reading, the siswapun listen carefully to the story the lecturer, and lecture room fell silent. By the way and style that is owned the faculty in bringing the story, making the students who attend in the lecture hall that seemed to come see how real it happened, so that the girls who sat in row DII close behind me among his come hug me express feelings harunya.
At the end of reading the paper, the professor accidentally close story by quoting one sentence that I wrote at the end of my paper. "Smile with 'Heart', and you will know how 'Devastating' impact itimbulkan by that smile. "
In its own way, God has 'used' to myself touched people in McDonald's, my husband, my son, my teacher, and every student who attended college at night my last as a college student. I graduated with a lesson The biggest that I never got in any college, namely: "ACCEPTANCE WITHOUT CONDITIONS."
Many stories about love, written to be impregnated by its readers, but for anyone who could read and interpret the story is expected to take learning how to
To interact with you, use nalarmu. But for interact with others, use your heart! People who lose money, will lose a lot, people who lost friends, would lose more! But people who have lost their confidence, will lost everything! God promises to give to each animals for their food, but HE does not throw food into in their nests, animal remains must do their best to get it.
Young people are 'beautiful' is the work of nature, but old people are 'beautiful' is the work of art. Learn from EXPERIENCE THEM, because you can not live enough long to be able to get all that from the experience yourself

We complain We complain about the cross we bear but don’t realize it is preparing us for the dip in the road that God can see and we cannot. Whatever your cross, whatever your pain, there will always be sunshine, after the rain…. Perhaps you may stumble, perhaps even fall; But God’s always ready, to answer your call…. He knows every heartache, sees every tear, a word from His lips, can calm every fear… Your sorrows may linger, throughout the night, But suddenly vanish, by dawn’s early light…
