Jan 28th

There are just so many new things everyday. Things don't stop being new at any point. By that I mean everyday its something different, a new discover, good or bad, something I haven't thought on, or something I havent' realized. Its a path I haven't taken, a difficulty I never conquered, a sight I never realized existed. Maybe a book I haven't read, a verse I never looked closely at, a friend I didn't realize was hurting. I feel so oblivious to small things, or big things. I just walk around eyes looking at the task ahead instead of taking everything in around me. Taking in the good, or the bad, just taking IT in ya know? Its hard for me to do. I get zoned in on my job, or chores, or cooking, church, it doesn't matter, but the normal things that have to be done and forget the gift of every breath I take, or snow covered grass, or a river just minutes from my house. I forget to see how the people around me are doing, I just assume they must be fine because they're doing the daily grind right next to me, but if I really stopped to take a walk with them, to hear their ideas, struggles, dreams, I might open my eyes to humanity alittle more, I might be able to actually love people as Jesus does if I just opened my eyes and forgot about all the deadlines for a second.
