Sun
Sometimes it seems like a joke, or part of a black comedy. That God would give me talent, real and true talent. And then make me me. Why would he do that? It seems to me like a waste of resources. But I'm not one to think God wastes resources. So where does that leave the mess of me? The talent wrapped in crazy-paper? Driving down the road, at 8 in the morning, that's where. Feeling the sun warm my skin in the way that only the sun can. Staring at the mountains. Thinking of all I have. All I have been given. And my mom taught me to be polite, so I must say thank you for the gift, and use it well. Even if I'm not sure what that means.

This is why we love you. We would tell you more often, but you wouldn't believe us. You have to see yourself the way we do, and now you do.

So the you I know is the you from high school. I know you've changed some, so have I. Now I have this small glimpse of your life through Facebook, your blog, etc. This I am certain of....you have tremendous talent, strength, and courage. You are worthy, that I know. The big man upstairs often uses the "talented wrapped in crazy paper" because he's known for making beauty from ashes. He does his best work that way.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great reminder, thanks for sharing! It's so easy to get caught up in life and forget all that God has blessed us with!
