I really don't like It's A Wonderful Life. I find it to be dark and depressing, for the most part, and have no idea out why it's considered a holiday classic.
However, today, I find myself wishing I could have that "George Bailey glimpse" to see what life would be like (for the worse of course) without me.
For the most part, particularly of late, I have felt that God loves me and that I have worth. But there are days like today when I need to know that I matter, not just to God, but to the people around me and that all this routine and little acts and effort and wheels spinning actually make some difference here in the lives of people I know or even don't know.
you make a difference to me. that zillah book you sent arrived when i was in a particularly deep trough of despondency, and every time i see it, it reminds me that this life is worth it, and it's worth it because of people. and nobody else really appreciates my spanking pictures.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping today is a "Wow, this world is SPECTACULAR with me in it!" kind of day! Happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteIt was actually. Well, maybe not so much "this world is SPECTACULAR with me in it" as it was "This is a SPECTACULAR world to be in" kinda day, which was just as good.
