This is a hard week. Don’t be fooled. It’s hard to get our minds around the fact that God is present even when we aren’t feeling it. Homework reminder: If you’re not buying it – rest. Make some down time for yourself. If you are buying it – expand on it. Look for God’s presence today. See if you can find it. And if you can – share the experience with someone close to you.
I would like to response to what the gentlemen who shared his desire for his USC students to have inspirational leaders that help show them and motivate them to see the world in a way that Martin Luther King Jr was able to do. Please know, this is in no way a change from what he desired or communicated. Instead please consider this a conversion to a different way of looking at the exact same thing. (Just like we don’t change the value of the distance being measured when we convert from miles to kilometers… just see it for all that it can be so that different people can fully understand that which we measured and wish to communicate.)
His explanation seemed to me to reflect the macro. Converting it to the micro, it seems to me that his desire to have thoughtful leaders is right in his mirror. His concern for those students shows that he himself is probably living the life that he was requesting they have the opportunity to experience, as he did with MLK, Jr. For myself, I know my professors/teacher through the years were the most powerful influencers in my life, so in fact, exactly what he wishes his students to have, converting his statements, it seems to me that from a micro scale, his students do have the ability to have the leaders he wishes. They do have Thad’s because Thad’s isn’t a place but a concept and believe that we bring with us throughout the week. Hence his interaction with his students provides them Thad’s each and every time. His interactions with his student, assuming he shows the side of himself we were able to experience today, provides his students exactly that which he would like them to experience.
Thank you for the opportunity to see take time out of my day to be reminded that life is as we see it and that providing others compassion and empathy in turn enables us to feel that which flows to us no matter.
