Tonight was an interesting night. As I paid my respects to this beautiful sister that had impacted many lives, I found myself befuddled by a young man that told this man how he had impacted his life. The thing is he brought up details that the man had no memory of...and I know why. I have always had the idea that the things we do for others or the "right" things we do should never be placed on some score board or even reserved for memory. Nor should they be done for an audience that would add to my largess. Not for some false sense of humility but simply because I always wanted to feel as though I have not done enough. That there was always more I could do and that if the only audience was God, then I would have no reason for pride on so-called measured accomplishments. I prayed for this as a young man and have lived my life this way ever since. Tonight...I was reminded of that. I only share this to state a simple truth. Never keep score...let God do that. Do all you feel you can do and forget about it if you can. If somebody saw and was blessed then bless God for it. If what you do has the right spirit behind it you will never need praise or feel deserving of a thing...shit, I still don't lol So folks, do what you can, keep it moving and let God handle all the rest...Good night my people...
