Just Thinking

Forgive me Father for I have sinned. I have somehow gotten it into my head that I am superwoman no, superlady, wait, I think I prefer supergirl. Point is, I thought I was "super something" and I could save the world. I even made a cape! A lilac cape!! Lilac is different from pink, pink is too girly for me. I digress. Forgive me Father for I have sinned! I have been foolishly running around in my l ilac cape trying to save the world forgetting it was you who created the world. I wake up with a start, expletives rolling off my tongue as I realize yet again that I have overslept. I don't pause to say thank you, I don't take a moment to listen to things You might have to say to me.

Yesterday was full, full of prompts on taking responsibility and going the extra mile and paying attention. It gets so easy to forget just how priviledged I am, Its so easy to think that just because I need a new car, my life is not all that; forgetting the millions of people who can't dream of being driven in a car not to mention owning one.

I feel its so unfair to have so many people suffering, I also however, feel it serves as a huge opportunity to show just how large the human heart is and can be. I only pray that I will see the opportunities to give when the come because they do come to us and often too...
