Funerals Don't Just Make You Cry, They Make You THINK.

So here is post number two on my new blog. I was thinking about it, and "blog" is a strange word. I feel like it should be something gross. And big.

I went to my great-grandma's funeral today. She was almost 105 years old. That's a long time to be alive. I always thought that I'd never want to live for that long. But then one of my great-uncles said something today to make me rethink my position on that topic. He said that there had to be a reason for God to keep someone alive for that long. And after hearing all the stories of how sweet my great-grandma was to everyone she came in contact with, I think God kept her here to help us realize how we should be treating one another on a daily basis. Someone at the funeral quoted this passage, and it explains exactly how we should be treating one another:

"'For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' Then the righteous will answer Him, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You something to drink? When did we see You a stranger and invite You in, or needing clothes and clothe You? When did we see You sick or in prison and go to visit You?' The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'" -Matthew 25:35-40

THAT is how we should be treating one another. Not just our best friends, or our family members. EVERYONE.

Now on a lighter note, I have decided that I want to learn how to play "Listen To Your Heart" by DTH. I heard it on the radio the other day at work, and I like it. (Yes, I like those old, cheesy songs like the "Titanic Love Theme" and such. Don't hate.)

I've also been cooking more... I think part of that has to do with me not having any money. And because of how inspired I was by that movie, Julie & Julia. Like last night I made taco salad. All by myself. This is a big accomplishment for me, cooking all by myself.

Anywho, I'm getting a tad bit sleepy, so I think I'll finish watching disc 5 of Season 1 of Gilmore Girls. I don't know what I'm going to do once I finish watching it... I've become addicted. To that, and to diet soda. I had three cans yesterday. THREE. I don't think that's healthy. .....and.....i'm over it! Until next time.....!
