Pink Saturday Miracle Party

Today is to be a very special Pink Saturday. Beverly at http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog has suggested we share some inspiring event we experienced. I debated on what to share. I am a firm believer, however, that things happen for a reason.




Also, even if you are not participating in Pink Saturday, please visit these sights and share your comments. For every comment, a $1 will be donated to this worthy cause.

My blessing for today came from a complete stranger.

The past Saturday, my sister and I were out at an antique mall having lunch at their tea room. After lunch, we browsed around and she purchased something. While she was getting checked out, I found a bench and waited for her. While waiting, a man and lady stood near by in conversation, and me taking it all in. They were discussing various things and when he left, the lady asked if he needed shots. He said no and she wished him well. The word "shots" aroused my curiosity. I wondered where he might be going that required shots in the first place. I just up and asked her. The gentlemen was her cousin and on his way to Honduras. Some years ago, he lost his wife from cancer. They shared a full life together. To fill a void, he went to Honduras and bought a building and remodeled it.

Even though he lost the love of his life, he wanted to do something that could put love back into the lives of others.

All his time and energy now goes into this home for unwed mothers that have been assaulted by family members. At some point in our lives we will all experience pain and sorrow. It is how we cope with it that is important. Here is a gentlemen that I am sure felt his life would never be the same. He could have given up and do nothing. Instead he picked up the pieces of his life and is doing great things with it. No matter what adversities we face along life's way, with the right attitude, we can turn it into something positive. The work this man is doing in Honduras will be a great blessing to so many. How wonderful it would be if there were more people like this.
