Reflections on Being Authentic

I pray for interactions like the one I describe below every day.  I pray to be a light- to walk in the Light and reflect the love that God has for each one of us.  I pray for that real and simple of a way to show His love every day.

So why am I telling a story that happened a year and a half ago?

Because the majority of my interactions with people are not like that.  They are selfish and apathetic, uncaring and surface.  I want so badly to be the person that I wrote about down there.  The person that has acts like that flow naturally our of her- that does nothing forced and because she should and because she has thought about "what Jesus would do" but acts purely out of Love.  Talks in Love.  Walks in Love.

And I think, will my children remember that?  Do they remember that interaction?  Or will they only remember the times that I complain about other drivers in the cars, or smile politely at strangers with a hope that we won't have to interact.  Hmmmmm.....

I pray, dear God, keep me walking in the Light.  Fill me. Let me live in your Love and Freedom and extend it to everyone around me!
