Thankful for Perspective.

I am thankful for the perspective gained today from my classroom. From discussions on modern slavery. And gaining, again, the passion against injustice. The eyes for beyond me.

I am thankful for perspective. As I am caught up in planning the perfect day, or composing the most captivating lesson, or being the most intimate of friends....

I am given instead, perspective. That people live in poverty. That people live chained. That people lived lonely. That people live so much different, so much harder, so much more involved, than me.

I am thankful for perspective. To take me out of my box. Out of my emotions. Out of my world. And see more. See His world. His heartbeat. His care. His people. To see more than me. To see Him; We.

Today, I am thankful for perspective.
