Bits and Pieces

People important to you, unimportant to you, cross your life, touch it with love and carelessness and move on.

There are people who leave you, and you breathe a sigh of relief and wonder why you ever came in contact with them. There are people who leave you, and you breathe a sigh of remorse and wonder why they had to go away and leave such a gaping hole.

Children leave parents, friends leave friends, acquaintances move on, people change houses, and people grow apart. Enemies hate and move on. Friends love and move on. You think of the many whom have moved into your hazy memory. You look at those present and wonder.

In God's masterful plan of lives, He moves people in and out, and each leaves a mark on the other. You find that your made up of bits and pieces of all that have touched your life and you are more because of it, and you would be less if they had not touched you. Pray that you accept the bits and pieces of humility and wonder, and never question and never regret.
