None of it matters to them
the awards, the grades, accomplishments, what I have done in this world up until this point in my life
All they see is a person, with food, to provide for their family
I didn’t need any credentials
I didn’t have to pass a test
I didn’t have to perform
I came as I was
Just me.
Since when has that not been enough?
Since when did I need a label placed on me to feel accepted and loved?
The family was so appreciative; all they had to say was thank you
We asked the father about his biggest dream in life
He dreams to be a good father, husband, build a house for himself, and provide for his family
A simplistic life; but yet full of joy and consumed with the Father’s love.
As we left, I found myself in tears
not tears of sadness
but tears of joy
They get it; they haven’t missed the point
I am jealous of what they have; I want to live with their mindset
I pray that I never miss the point of why I am here.
