It's Nice to Be Met.

Today, I made cupcakes, which I have posted on my Tumblr. They are cute and curly and amazing. And honestly, it took all afternoon. But it was so worth it. It's like a way for my mind to detox. Then at 5, I drove in town to a place called PATH (people assisting the homeless) and made dinner for the people there. PATH is different than other homeless shelters, it's actually more of a stepping stone than a shelter. There is an application process and commitment/rehab depending on what your story is. A lot of the people there were people who had had jobs, but lost them recently and had been trying to find a new place. I know what you're thinking, because I was too. What about their families? Honestly, I don't know. With the woman that I talked too, it seemed like she was too proud to accept help, but I guess I know how that goes. She doesn't want to put people out all the time, and that is understandable. But I think that the real factor is that their families are lacking real love. I'm currently reading and studying 2 Timothy chapter 3, and I've been praying about the "without love" part. I read it last night, and I thought of how empty life is without it. My prayer was and is that God would use me to change that. Today, I think He started. :) We can't be a people without love. We can't be a people without love.

I met a man named Bobby too. He was the first person I introduced myself to. I said

"Hi, I'm Anna."

"Hi, I'm Bobby."

"It's very nice to meet you Bobby."

"It's nice to be met."


He truly said that. Sometimes, it's just nice to be met.

love someone today.

loveyoubunches.
Anna
