Helping hands!

Last Wednesday me and a couple of others from class skipped the double credit chapels and went to help at the mental disability facility. I really enjoyed the time at the facility. I really enjoyed making arts and crafts with the people there. It was very exciting and I would love to go there again! We made cards for Thanksgiving and it was a blast! The people there are so friendly and loving. I met this really nice lady that showed me pictures of her grand children and her children, and she had to be one of the sweetest people that I have ever met. I can honestly say that most of the people at the disability place have a very sweet spirit. They are really nice to others and they love God, which really amazed me because we look at them like something is wrong with them, but in all even "regular" people can be pretty intense. I just now understand that God only see's the heart. He does not care what we look like or how He created us because He made us the way we are for a reason, and that reason is to glorify Him. I'm glad that I can finally grasp what God really cares about, and that is our hearts. Our entire lives we try to satisfy other people and try to look a particular way to fit in. Why should that matter? How is that going to help us get into Heaven? Well, it's not! Mentally disabled people do not really have much to worry or even stress about and this is a huge blessing! I would love to spend my life just worrying and doing God's business instead of worrying what I am going to wear tomorrow or what store has the best black Friday sales. We need to get out priorities in order, and fast!
