It was too windy for my umbrella, and it took three tries to find an ATM that worked. Sometimes the day starts out like that. I usually ignore the distractions, but today it struck me that in tuning out these nuisances, I was tuning out people as well. My protective measures were TOO protective.Maybe everyone experiences this in a big, bustling city-I don’t know.
I have to keep asking God to help me lift my eyes up to look in the faces of the “people going by.”

No, it isn't a warm, spring day. But there are still a lot of pleasant moments to appreciate.
Liz, what are you complaining about? If I had money to go and live in St. Pete right now - I would! America sucks when it comes to a social life and perspectives it offers. You have so much to go for you there. I do not understand why you're concentrating on the orphanages only. You have SO many options there. I know, because I lived there. Just relax and find other things to do.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good reminder :)
