June 2nd - Glaring Perspective

I've been reading updates on a blog that tells of a happy little 2 yr old boy who fell into a pool and hasn't regained consciousness.

His family is praying and hoping for a miracle.

So am I.

There are moments in our lives where something happens in the world, or in the news, or to a family you've read about, and we become forever changed. Forever touched.

Maybe it's because in those moments our perspective is suddenly clear.

We are glaringly reminded of what we have,

who we love,

who loves us,

and the things that are truly important in our lives.

And the burden of stress or anxiety that we have been living under, and feeling so overwhelmed by, seems almost glaringly self-imposed,

pointless,

unimportant.

My thoughts and prayers go to little Josh and his family. They need a miracle. He needs to wake up and throw more oranges. His mommy needs to see him smile at her. Please send him your best thoughts and strongest prayers too.
