Not knowing what we have while we have it

empty college town street
Every street looks similar (empty) everyday – yet some will never be aware.

 

Not knowing what we have while we have it often leads to regrets.

The person we want to be and the person we actually are should one day become…

Oscar Wilde quote on office door grease board
The perils of the dreamer… unknown to many

 

Difficult to wake up and be grateful all day, everyday.

Isn’t it?

Yet it’s our number one responsibility as a person who confesses humility and gratitude to an omnipotent God.

Right?

The person we want to be and the person we actually are should one day become the same – sooner rather than later.
