I cried when I heard...

I was watching TV tonight - an entertaining talent show. Tears poured out of my eyes when I heard the following:

After singing very badly on the stage......
Judges: what do you do for a living?
Singer: I am a fruit seller.

After dancing an unexciting dancing routine......
Judges: Why are you dancing?
Dancer: (looking anxious)because it keeps us off the streets and doing drugs

Listen to the level of resilency and self determination. The self belief that 'yes I can do it - I can, yes me, yes I can'. God, thank you for inspiring me through ordinary people in life so I may not give up on the fight I will be in with and for others I serve. Thank you God!
