what do u think about this?

Question

This is a good story and is true, please read it all the way through until the end! (After the story, there are some very interesting facts!):

I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have recently completed my college degree.

The last class I had to take was! Sociology.

The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human being had been graced with.

Her last project of the term was called "Smile."

The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions.

I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway, so, I thought this would be a piece of cake, literally.

Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, youngest son, and I went out to McDonald's one crisp March morning.

It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son.

We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then even my husband did.

I did not move an inch... An overwhelming feeling of panic welled up inside of me as I turned to see why they had moved.

As I turned around I smelled a horrible "dirty body" smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men.

As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was "smiling".

His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God's Light as he searched for acceptance.

He said, "Good day" as he counted the few coins he had been clutching.

The second man fumbled with his hands as he stood behind his friend. I realized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman was his salvation.

I held my tears as I stood there with them.

The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted.

He said, "Coffee is all Miss" because that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. He just wanted to be warm).

Then I really felt it - the compulsion was so great I almost reached out and embraced the little man with the blue eyes.

That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action.

I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray.

I then walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman's cold hand.

He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Thank you."

I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, "I did not do this for you. God is here working through me to give you hope."

I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son. When I sat down my husband smiled at me and said, "That is why God gave you to me, Honey, to give me hope."

Answer 9

I am no longer amazed that you simply obtained designated. Used to be NO Q's in this discipline would even get spoke back both. So, I bet we will have to be pleased about that. What do I feel? Been there. I feel that the Church age has ended. Seriously now, learn all of it earlier than you censor me too. I feel that's why God created the hebraic/messianic activities. I feel it has 2 (or 3) fundamental names, Messianic (Judaism isn't continuously aspect of the identify), Nazarene Judaism, and/or Hebrew Roots. The HR's motion is loaded with Ephraimites that's (for so much of it is participants) British Israelism and that is aspect of the purpose your ordinary Rabbi and his/her fans knee jerk begin screaming approximately MJ. I haven't any difficulty with Messianics. I have a difficulty with Armstrongism, which is simply an extra manner of claiming Ephriamism (aka British Israelism). The New Testament certainly says that those who find themselves born-once more in Christ (Messiah) ARE now grafted into Israel. A lot of Messianic Jews are racist. I hate that. I feel that Messianic gentiles will have to rise up to it. It got here from the Rabbinate which got here into life esp via NOT accepting Jesus. Why do I say "the Church age has ended" once we nonetheless have truly Christians in church buildings everywhere the sector? In 1988, Dr. John F. Walvoord (now promoted to glory), former Chancellor of Dallas Theological Seminary, wrote in "The Nations, Israel and the Church in Prophecy" that at the moment, in his view, all of the indicators had been in proof for the "time of the Gentiles' to be finishing. That is what the Church age is, the time of the Gentiles. Worldwide ecumenicism was once obvious via him (accurately) as a significant hazard to truly Christ following. While it was once developing at the international degree, God was once growing for us a risk-free haven it's 'assemblies" and "fellowships" or even (Messianic) "synagogues" all of which can be the New testomony phrases translated as "church" as a substitute. It was once a Catholic Church invented time period. Jesus mentioned, in Matt sixteen:18, to the primary apostle he "known as out" to comply with him (Peter), once we was once additionally the primary one to overtly testify that Jesus was once Messiah, "upon this rock I will construct my..." what phrase did Jesus say? Church? Nope. We have the Greek "eccesia". The phrase "church" had no longer but even been invented! And Jesus spoke Aramaic. Ecclesia way a devout/non secular congregation of "known as out" ones. Called out of what? Good query is not it? "The Church" was once for the Gentiles. It was once and nonetheless is, a transitority tent. The tent isn't going to heaven. The humans who real DO belong IN Messiah/Christ will. That was once the common apostles and disciples, Mary, and so on. Then, gentiles who permitted "Jesus" (Y'shua) via the lots and meet in church buildings, sure. But "the Church" isn't the be all and finish all in this earth. The gospel is going on. It's as realistic as that. The regulations have no longer converted. Abraham was once stored via trusting within the Lord who later found out to him a Messiah/Lamb could be offered. So too, David...
