Today I tried to reach out to an old friend of mine to start a conversation, but her phone battery was dying and she was busy, so it didn't go as well as I had hoped for.
Sometimes we plan really nice things, and they just don't turn out the way we want.
I feel like this is my life story lol.
Did any of you get a chance to reach out to someone you hadn't talked to in a while today?
I am trying to challenge my readers to new little tasks each day, because I think that the little things that we do to make the world a better place tend to get overlooked.
A lot of my acts of kindness for Elijah have been on the "smaller" side lately because I have been out of money, or I live so far from town, or I have been a little depressed. And I have been really hard on myself about this, because I have seen other people in my shoes doing such amazing things. Or I read news articles or stories about people changing the world in big ways, and somedays I am just doing good if I can get out of bed.
It has taken many crushed dreams and my heart breaking over and over again, but I am trying to accept that I am doing the best I can with what I have. Each day I plant little seeds of kindness for Elijah, and one day that will grow into something amazing.
But whatever happens, I can't give up. This is too important. This is the promise I made to him. I promised him I would change the world with his love and happiness.
No act of kindness is ever wasted--no matter how small.
If all you can do is hold the door open for someone today, then please do it! If you can mail a letter to someone you love today, then please do it! If you can use manners or ask someone how their day is going, then please do it! ALL of these things matter. And if more people did these little things, the world would be a much happier place.
We are ALL capable of changing the world. Do it for Elijah. I would love it if he was part of your reason for doing so.
Thank you for reading. Sharing my story with you guys is one of the things that has carried me through some of my darkest days. I may not know who reads all these blogs, but I see the numbers and I know that I am not alone. You guys are amazing and I truly am so appreciative each of you.
Please keep praying for our world. Pray for my family. Pray for me. Pray for you! And always always pray for my sweet sweet Elijah.
Thank you!
Hi sweet boy.
I hope you know that even though I am not doing so hot,
I am doing the best I can for you.
The truth is, you deserve so much more
and I don't know how to get there.
I feel broken.
I feel like there is so much to do, and I am just so small.
But I haven't given up.
I will keep doing these small things for you with big love.
I intend to change the world for you,
and I will find a way.
I promise.
I love you so much.
Always.
