Perspective....


The photo above is my hometown, Bremen, Indiana. I snapped this on my flight home to surprise my parents last week. I just happened to look down about 10 minutes out of South Bend and it was the most perfect timing! I realized I could see the Sunnyside Park pool and tennis courts, and the softball diamond where I played so many summers. With my eyes, I followed IN-106 to 331 and could see my Aunt & Uncle's home just outside of town. It was amazing! Ahhh, perspective.....

Perspective
(poem written 5.26.06)

We are what we behold~
At least that's what I've been told.
What consumes your mind?
What eats up your time?
Is it really all worthwhile,
or just worthy of the trash pile?
Time is of the essence.
There's no guarantee of tomorrow,
let alone the next minute.
Life is funny, situations and circumstances correcting our perspective.
The seemingly gigantic obstacles are mere flecks of dust in the grand scheme.
We must find what's important and keep that in view,
Because each day we're given God makes all things new.
