Theme: Opportunity
I wonder how often opportunities come my way and I simply
let them pass by because I am too busy, or too stressed, or too concerned with me.
Opportunities to reach out to someone that is need.
Sometimes a smile is all I need to offer, or a listening ear, or companionship,
just being there.
Opportunities to make memories with my children. Like
getting down on the floor to play, getting them dancing, or telling them
stories (instead I am too busy, especially if there is a computer around).
Opportunities to connect with my husband. Taking time to
really ask him questions, to listen to what is going on in his heart. Instead,
I can treat him like a roommate.
Opportunities to do the things I enjoy. Like going o a Zumba
class, or go out for a bike ride, or really make time to write.
Opportunities to be a light to a world that is dark and
where pain and hurt are common. I can wallow in my own struggles and not look
past me.
What about you, do you miss any opportunities?
