     Bits & Pieces of Life

Bits and pieces.
People. People important to you -  People unimportant to you, they cross your life everyday, touch it with love 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 leaving a gaping hole in your life.

Children leave parents, friends leave friends, acquaintances move on.  People change homes.  People grow apart.  Enemies hate and move on.  Friends love and move on.
     When you think of the brethren who have moved into your hazy memory, you look at those now present and wonder...

     I believe in GOD's master plan in lives.  He moves people in and out of each others lives, and each leaves his mark on the other.
     You will find that you are made up of bits and pieces of all who have ever touched your life, and you are more because of it, and you would be less if they had not touched you.

     When I search the Holy Scriptures, I come to the Book of Hebrews- Chapter 13, verse 1....
     "Be not forgetful to strangers - for thereby some have entertained Angels unaware."

     I pray to GOD that you act the bits and pieces of life in humanity, and wonder, and never question, and never regret.

Bits and Pieces.
