carlosweb10: The will to live has a personal agenda and direction..or not?
The will to live is strong, very strong. I am here to help someone. Not sure who, but I will find out. I am here for a reason. Nice thread. Makes one think doesn't it ?

Your purpose to help someone has already been accomplished many times and will continue to do so. Most of the time we are unaware of our actions on others. I can remember so many people in my life that had an impact on me and never knew it. The most vivid memory is of my first grade teacher. I was a lost child and had no love. One day she asked us to skip across the room and I was not able to do it. I cannot remember why...I was afraid or embarrassed, but I started crying. She came to me and put her arms around me. I remember that feeling so well. I just wanted to lose myself in the warmth of her hug forever. We humans desperately need to be touched and loved. I got none of it at home. That was the day I decided to become a teacher. When I begin to lose patience with my students, I remember her and I remember to be a more caring teacher. She never knew the impact she has had on my life. You must read The Five People You Meet in Heaven! It is about that interconnectiveness we humans have with each other and the impact we have on others without knowing it.

That is a nice story. I bet you are a wonderful teacher. You have lucky students. How is the weather up there in South Texas ? You are just south of Canada right ?

I have a lot of award winning photos taken with a little canon power shot. It isn't the camera, it's the photographer. You know that don't you ?

OMG!!! I cannot believe you do not completely realize that the work you do has such a huge impact on people???? You should read my post above on the impact you have on others that you will never know about. The tiny things you do for others can make someone that has no one else feel so wonderful. You are awesome and have such a fantastic purpose in life.

This happen to me a few years back. I ran into this guy and we were in the scouts as chilfren. I went over to him and told him who I am and the first thing he asked me how my diabetes is doing. He then told me he has a picture of me in a tent taking my needle. He said I was an inspiration to him because he had to take a needle once a month for allergies and his mom gave it to him. When he saw me give myself the needle he started doing it himself. It suprised me when he told me that. Just a small thing to mention how I influenced someone.

Freesparrow... are you trying to ruin my image on CS? Honestly, I never looked at my work at the James this way. I'm dense, huh...

Yes! This is a perfect example of what I was trying to say!!!!! What a great story, YesWho.
Thats what I thought of when I read your thread. Something you do everyday how it can make an impression on someone else and you don't relize it. Happy New Year Freesparow.
The will to live is a choice and with any choice we need hope and faith. When you have hope and faith you see it in others and have the grace to share and serve.
