a touch of sports...

Well I came across a great website today as I was trying to type in my blogger account. Life the old and perhaps still published magazine came up and I loved it. I have always enjoyed the art of photography and here is a magazine along with National Geographic that showcases some great work. After about 20 minutes of looking at photos and reading the captions of the latest world news one caught my attention. One that normally wouldn't catch mine, but would for sure catch my husbands.

Now let me explain why my eyes were drawn to this photo. first of all Steve Nash is in the photo and come on not much of an explanation needed here. Secondly I have been hearing a lot about this decision in Arizona about illegal immigration. I must start my opinion by saying this, I am very uneducated about this situation and perhaps should say nothing at all, but there is something that drives me to feel something great and it must be shared. 

"Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless or the fatherless, the alien or the poor, in your hearts do not think evil of each other." Zechariah 7:10

This is not an easy thing to do and for my it is easy to feel that i have the right to something simply because I was born into it. Why is that? Why do I feel that I am great then someone? This applies to every moment of my day. I must become less so He may become more. God sees us ALL as equal, why do we not teat each other that way? 

Because we to need jobs, money, security? What are we afraid of? What am I afraid of?

^34-36"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Enter, you who are blessed by my Father! Take what's coming to you in this kingdom. It's been ready for you since the world's foundation. And here's why:

   I was hungry and you fed me,
   I was thirsty and you gave me a drink,
   I was homeless and you gave me a room,
   I was shivering and you gave me clothes,
   I was sick and you stopped to visit,
   I was in prison and you came to me.'
 ^37-40"Then those 'sheep' are going to say, 'Master, what are you talking about? When did we ever see you hungry and feed you, thirsty and give you a drink? And when did we ever see you sick or in prison and come to you?' Then the King will say, 'I'm telling the solemn truth: Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me—you did it to me.'
 ^41-43"Then he will turn to the 'goats,' the ones on his left, and say, 'Get out, worthless goats! You're good for nothing but the fires of hell. And why? Because—

   I was hungry and you gave me no meal,
   I was thirsty and you gave me no drink,
   I was homeless and you gave me no bed,
   I was shivering and you gave me no clothes,
   Sick and in prison, and you never visited.'
 ⁴⁴"Then those 'goats' are going to say, 'Master, what are you talking about? When did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or homeless or shivering or sick or in prison and didn't help?'
 ⁴⁵"He will answer them, 'I'm telling the solemn truth: Whenever you failed to do one of these things to someone who was being overlooked or ignored, that was me—you failed to do it to me.'


Then thirdly I can not help to think of my beautiful baby boy Nash when I see this photo. My heart is filled with love and excitement for him. I thank God for letting me have this time to raise him and watch him grow. I thank him for allowing me to be taught so many lessons through such a tiny human. Oh the Lord is good and may I forever remember that.
