He is good
our patience and love are so limited. but the Father's love endures forever and His patience extends to the ends of the earth. He gives us comfort and He offers us a life of joy and peace.

just a simple thank you
tonight at aacf, we did so many "random acts of appreciation". at first i was kind of thinking this was a good idea but a silly thing to do. i really doubted that the people we handed things out to would be that appreciative. however, by the end of the night, i was proven wrong and it was actually really fun to do. i want to do it more often because some people just never hear the words thank you near enough.
so this is basically what everyone did:
1. handed out candy to random people passing by
2. handed out candy with sticky notes
3. posted sticky notes with nice messages all around the library
4. walked around with a poster that says FAMILY and people write what they think
5. hand made 'thank you' cards for security guards at all the dorms
so walking back to hojo (the dorm i live in) i started getting nervous about giving this thank you card to the security guard. one, i was worried it would be one of the security guards i had trouble with in the past. two, i was scared that he would not accept the card or just look at it and toss it aside. three, i was worried that others would see what i was doing and judge me - though why would that bother me? anyways, i got back to hojo and i was relieved to see one security guard i never really talked to before. so i walked right up to the front desk and just stated: "hi, i'm part of a student organization on campus and we made this thank you card for all the security guards here to show our appreciation." immediately, the guard smiles and took the card and opened it right up. he didn't look up to check when i swiped my card (which is unusual because they normally stare us down). just seeing him happy made me so happy! i was smiling all the way up the stairs.
just thought i'd share this moment because it was pure joy and happiness. it just erupted from inside me. and it was great.
