God's Will



                                                                      God’s Will

Joseph, the Blue Man, lectures Mr. Edward about how there are no strangers in the world, and how every human-beings’ life intercepts with the rest of their fellow neighbors’. In the story, it says, “No one can separate one life from another any more than someone can separate a breeze from the wind” (Albom, 75). No one can separate a breeze from the wind for the breeze is the wind. By definition, a breeze is a wind at speeds of 3 to 21 miles per hour. Wind is any moving current of air with no limit on the amount of speed. Both breezes and winds are made of the same basic elements; they both are moving pockets of air that give a cooling sensation to the body. Like the wind, people are made up of the same ingredients: a creator, passion, curiosity, love, and sorrow.  These basic ingredients make it possible for all life to affect another.

The Blue Man also proclaimed that there are no random acts in the world.  As a Christian I believe that the Lord knew me even before my parents knew each other. I also believe the Lord helps guide my future. Everyone has a purpose and everything has a reason. People might not know the reason for a loved one dying or why they decide not to get there college diploma at the time. Yet God has a plan for all of us and with God's plans nothing is a coincidence. Eventually we will find our purpose in life and the reasons for all our decisions in this life or our eternal life, like Eddie.  

In my opinion this quote is talking about blessings. Blessings do not have to be volunteer work or donating money.  They can be something small in our daily routines; a simple wave hello to people or a smile to everybody.  These acts can also be something large like sacrificing oneself for another.   We are all humans and therefore connected; what one person does affects someone else, that person does something for someone, and someone does something for you.  Nothing is random because God has a plan for each of us and those plans are woven together like fabric in a blanket.
