Thanksgiving and Respect

       Hi, my name is Kramer. This is my blog of course. Everyday I will post about how I see the world and about how I see the things around me. My last name is Kramer, spelled backwards Remark, which is some cases would make me a smart ass. Yes it is true I can be a bit of a smart ass, but hey aren't we all? Anyways, I have been told that I am a bit smarter then the average 14 year old, but I'll let you decide that on your own. So today is Thanksgiving!!! YAY!!! Today I went to serve the homeless food in the morning. I served about 85 people. A lot of the people that I served were very kind and always were thanking me for what I was doing for them, but then there were the distant ones. Unlike most I have this never ending curiosity to know people's life story. Whenever I see people when I'm just walking alone, part of me wants to stop and find out about their life and just talk with them. I don't know why I feel this way I just do. So anyways back to feeding the homeless. A few of the people were very distant and it made me feel a since of emptiness to see the way they keep their head down, as if someone was going to hurt them and they were afraid. I wish there was something that I could have done but I felt hopeless for I knew not what to do, so I just went about my day helping people that I could.

      Yesterday I went to a church service to hear my normal pasture's father speak. It was amazing I truly feel that my life will be forever changed. The message was that life is like an echo, what ever you give out will return to you. If you are mean to people they will be mean to you. If you are kind to people and show them love, they will be kind to you and show you the love that you showed them. I am so thankful that I got to hear him speak about this topic. One of the things in life I myself need to work on most is how I treat people. I am mean to people therefore people are mean to me, and I now realize that. The words that you say to people are now just words, in fact they are far from just being words, they are power. Everything that you say to people impacts who they are now and who they become later on down the road. Every little step you make, every little move you make, impacts the world in some way. It was said that you should always try to find at least one thing that is good in every person, it will make it that much easier to be nice to them.

    So that's pretty much all I had to say for now. Trust me I could go on and on and on and on... But for now I'm just trying to be a better person. I encourage anyone who reads this to try it too. I mean I'm not going to be like "BE A BETTER PERSON NOW!" but maybe consider some of the things that you thing you need to improve on and just put a little more effort into it :) Its really hard for me to be nice to some people, but I will try. Happy Thanksgiving and have a wonderful day.

God Bless,
