Inspired by Her Goodness

If you have the time I recommend reading Anne Marie's blog - see to my right sidebar. She is just finishing a 3 week experience of working in a leper colony in India. Anne is a dainty, feminine, pretty, girly girl. She has a heart of gold and has every desire to be and do good. My 3 favorite posts (and are best read in this order)are HANDS written on May 28, I can't even begin to explain her experiences and insight, it's better to just read them yourself. One line that really touched my heart was, "They may not have hands, but they all have gratitude." The second post is LOOK UP from June 1, and the final sentence sums up her tender feelings at the end of this day, "I try to remember to look up to my Heavenly Father who never lets the prayers of my heart go unheard, no matter to what sky I LOOK UP." And the third post is SEEING. Her experience of seeing a small disabled boy who was ignored by all the passing crowds and her response to him just softened my heart. The sentence, "He was made invisible by the visibility of his differences.", makes me want to look more carefully with my eyes.

Many times I have been inspired by music or dance, but perhaps more inspirational is to see someone's heart trying to be good.
I hope to be like Anne Marie when I grow up.
