Some people go through life
trying to find out what the world holds for
them,
only to find
out too late
that it's
what they bring to the world
that
really counts.
Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression
by saying something,
and
sometimes one creates as significant an impression
"Peace is not merely
a distant goal that we seek,
but a means by which we arrive at that goal.”
- MLK Jr.
Bits and Pieces
Bits and pieces, bits and
pieces.
People.
People important to you,
people
unimportant to you cross your life,
touch it with
love and move on.
There are people who leave you
and you breathe a sigh of relief
and wonder why you ever came
into
contact with them.
There are people who leave you,
and you breathe a sigh of remorse
and wonder why they had to go
and
leave such a gaping hole.
Children leave parents,
friends leave friends.
Acquaintances
move on.
People change homes.
People grow apart.
Enemies hate and move on.
Friends
love and move on.
You think of the many people
who have moved in and out of your hazy memory.
You look at those present and wonder.
I believe in God’s master plan in lives.
He
moves people in and out of each other’s lives,
and
each leaves his mark on the other.
You find you are
made up of bits and pieces
of all who have ever touched
your life.
You are more because of them
and would be less if they had not touched you.
Pray that you accept the bits and pieces
in humility and wonder,
and never
question and never regret.
Bits and pieces, bits
and pieces.
