I thought I knew what I would find in my wallet and write about it without even opening it. But when I opened my wallet and looked, I found a few things I had forgotten about and I could not find some things I thought for sure would be there.
There was my driver’s license, my bank cards, pictures of my son. My son’s pictures are from different ages. The Red Cross training and blood donor cards would show I value life because I am willing to help. I did not have any money in my wallet and that can mean several different things. It could mean I don't carry cash or I gave all my money to my children for lunch =).
The items in my wallet tell a lot about my life but there are a few things it does not tell. For example, I came from Medellin, Colombia where we lived for over 29 years. My pictures did not show that I have been married for 6 years and I have a large extended family that I am very close to. I do not have a student ID to show I am a full time student. Most important of all I do not have anything in my wallet that identifies me as a Christian and I am not sure why. I will be making a few changes to the contents of my wallet. Then if I lose my wallet the person who finds it will know who really I am.

Looking in my Wallet

"The Blind Side"
Last weekend my husband and I rented the movie “The Blind Side.” The scene that we like the most is when one of Leigh Ann’s (Sandra Bullock) stuck-up friend remarks “You’re changing that boy’s life?” and she replies, “Nope. He’s changing mine.” We did not expect the landside to be one of the most inspiring and heartwarming story we ever saw for a long time. We saw a kind family who is willing to help a helpless boy in time of need. They did it out of caring and concern for child who needs help. This is about the act of kindness toward another human being. The Toulys family didn't have to do it for fame, they did it out of love and kindness, if you can't see that than you missed being a human. If you can help one child at a time, you might not save the world but you will save the child from devastation of life. I hope there are more people like the Touly in this world to help underprivileged kids that are in need this kindness act
