I've learned that life is much more complicated than we make it out to be. Love hurts. Hearts do not always heal. There are even meta-messages behind what we say so that one person can completely misunderstand what you are attempting to express. And as a wise man once said "like the stones that role tightly(?) taunt you can't always get what you want". I'm going to ask a question that I think is worth thinking about.
How much of our time do we spend longing for something we desire that we miss the blessings of the present? What have I taken for granted today?
The answer may begin with the simple things....food, a roof over my head, the freedom to do and say what I am compelled to. And then we may get to the heart of it. Friends Family Fellowship the afternoon breeze and intense comfort I feel when looking at the stars or laying beneath a tree.
It is often the simple things that take my breath away, and remind me again to give thanks.
