Reading my Bible this morning, I came to one of those places where Jesus is surrounded by people whom wants to listen to him, everywhere there is somebody to take care of, someone in need of healing. He seemed to live fully engaged in the life of people he met. Always able to spare a moment, have something clever to say or just offer a listening ear. Every second of his time awake, he was giving of himself to those who’s lives he shared. Independently of if these people where his good friends or only somebody that happened to pass along, He seems to always have been capable to offer a warm smile and an outstretched hand. 

How often do I not wish that I also had this power? That I had the capacity to be present and loving 24/7…

How often do you not wish you already where Christlike in this way?

Guess what? If you think like I do, then both I and you, are Wrong! (more…)

I have applied for a scholarship. The process started many months ago and I got it confirmed last week. Yesterday I went to fill in the forms and to receive a hole package of information. The Lady at the office looked at me, genuinely surprised and said:

- “You got the place you applied for. It all worked out exactly the way you wished for… Into every detail! You know it’s not always this happens…”   

“Maybe not every day, but ALWAYS when Big Daddy is in action.” was what I wanted to answer, but I just smiled and nodded :) and I am happy it all worked out, but I also know it’s not thanks to me being me, or me having good luck or anything like this. See the story behind this is… (more…)
