"That there are no random acts. That we are all connected. That you can no more seperate one life from another than you can seperate a breeze from the wind." This novel was a fantastic work. In my perspective, I believe Mitch Albom revealed this quote to his readers to reach out to people, to make a difference that changes lives. After reading  The Five People You Meet in Heaven this quote to me means that everything we do truly does have an impact on the lives of others. Our actions, whether positive or negative, affect people sometimes in a way that we never imagined. We often don't realize it, but God has a way of letting one's presence in our life teach us, help us, and guide us in order to create an impact that serves as a positive influence. For example, Eddie met five people in heaven that in some way throughout his lifetime molded and shaped him to have a new perspective of his life here on Earth. The short amount of time spent with these people all pointed to one conclusion; Eddie's lifetime maintained a great purpose. Often God sends people to our rescue and uses them as an eye-opener for His glory. This is the exact reassurance that Eddie was in desperate need of. Also, God has a plan for everything-therefore nothing is considered random. In the Bible, Romans 12:5 serves as proof that we are the body of Christ; our lives are all connected for His purpose. This scripture says, "So in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others."
