I Feel Like a King - 07/16/07

In the airport before the flight, I bought some new books to read.  The first one that I started to read is called "The Winning Attitude".  I got this book because it is another book that can help me on my journey to have more positive thoughts and a positive attitude.  However, the thing that I like most about it is that it approaches the winning attitude from a biblical perspective.

Today was my first full day in India, and it was a very good day.  I spent most of the morning in the hotel room even though I was up before 6 a.m.  I was able to just relax this morning and rest.

This afternoon, I visited the company that is doing some software development for us.  They came and picked me up from the hotel.  When I got to the office, they greeted me with a dozen roses.  They were very courteous the entire visit.  At the end of the visit, they presented me with two gifts.  One of them is a replica of the Taj Mahal and the other is a book called "An Inspired Journey".  The book talks about the Cultural Heritage of India.  I think it will be very interesting to read.

In the hotel, everyone says hello every time I walk by.  They open the door for me.  I feel like I am royalty.  My nervousness has definitely turned to positive thoughts.

I wish everything was positive however.  On the drive back from the office, there were girls walking from car to car begging for money.  There are a lot of poor people next to luxury.  I wish I could have done something physically to help.  However, I can help by praying for them. They are God's children just like I am God's child.  In God's eyes, those girls are just as much a queen as I am a king.
