Small reminders count.
June 23, 2009
"So let us not give up in doing what is fine, for in due season we will reap if we do not tire out."--Galatians 6:9. I saw that attached to an email last night, and slept like a baby. Funny, some of the things occupying my mind at night just went away with that promise. All the fighting I was doing in my dreams was about a perception certain people were getting away with something, and it bothered me to see that they just seem to go on in their idiocy, which affects me. Yeah, it's easy to forget that it's not my place; I just don't like feeling helpless or taken advantage of. Work in progress.
I mean, every time the IRS takes their cut out of my pay for that bill I didn't create, I lose a little perspective. Whenever a bill comes for a medical copay I didn't incur, I lose a little perspective. Every time I fork over whatever amount for whatever because I know nobody else will, I lose a little perspective. When someone says something to me and we both know they're bull..., I lose a little perspective. And each time I hear about my kids being exposed to things they shouldn't be, I lose a little perspective.
But I can't stop doing things I know I should simply because everything happens in "due" time. Only One decides when due is. So consider me back in my place. Reward is sweet when you earn it. Don't give up even if you lose a little perspective from time to time. You're human; it happens. Just be on the lookout for those little reminders to put you back on track.
