Let's Move Mountains Today

I am currently siting in Panera, and the rain is pouring. As I am looking out the window, people are rushing from their cars to the safe indoors.

Most interestingly, though, is the older woman who just left. She was hobbling out (hobbling because of her broken right leg) when she told me, "I won't forget how I broke this leg. I was watching my son coach football when I slipped on the bleachers. Oh, it hurt bad. But I also pulled two muscles in my left hip. It's kinda hard to walk. Oh, I told God I was really a nice person and I didn't deserve this. I guess we are going to have another talk."

As I looked at her striking blue eyes, I came to realize, it can rain in some peoples lives. Now outside, it was pouring, I mean pouring, like if you were outside for more than 5 seconds, you would be soaked. But, for her, the storms of life were worse. I couldn't imagine having 1 broken leg and 1 leg with two pulled muscles.

I decided to bring some sunshine to break through the clouds. I smiled at her and laughed. I treated her like an individual who needs some sunshine, not some cranky old lady.

Steve Jobs said this, “Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.”

Here is something simple:

Love.

Love can move mountains. Let's move some mountains today.
