Perspective

As we go through our days experiencing LIFE, the glasses that we see through are tinted with our perspective.
For example: Getting out of bed and walking to the restroom may not seem like much to most of us, but to the person who has been confined to a wheelchair for years it may seem like unimaginable freedom. PERSPECTIVE. Going out for you favorite ice cream sundae on a hot July night sounds great to the ice cream lover, but to the lady who wants to drop 10 pounds it may sound like torture. PERSPECTIVE. Sanctity of Life Sunday, may seem like a great day to rally the troops. A day to bring awareness to those that don't know all about the horrors of abortion. But to the woman who has had an abortion, been forgiven , but will always feel grief, that Sunday is full of sadness, shame, isolation, and much more. PERSPECTIVE. Sept. 12, just another day to some. But to thousands of families Sept. 12 is "the day after", the day that they had to realize that their loved ones weren't coming home. The day that they had the "face" the world. PERSPECTIVE. Our Flag. To some it is a joke, to others it is something they would die for. PERSPECTIVE. The Bible. To some it is a book of fiction. Interesting stories, but laughable truths. To others, it is words of Life. Instructions for living. And truth above all else. PERSPECTIVE.

I pray that as we go forward in our days we pause to recognize different perspectives. Right or wrong, they are what make up people. Our life experiences determine how we things, do things and live. I pray that we are always patient others and gentle with our word. Life is full of experiences, and I pray that we can always strive to help those around us experience life through God's grace.
