Ramblings: Me trying to piece together my thoughts.

I don’t normally write text posts on this blog (and I have my reasons for that) but I just can’t not write about last night.

I learned so much about life last night. 

Things like: how much we take for granted, the destruction of addiction, the overwhelming, all-powerful grace of God; and the reality of homelessness.  

It’s not like I wasn’t aware of homelessness, I mean of course I knew it existed, but last night… I seen it. For the first time in my life, I saw it. and it’s too real, if you know what i mean. Witnessing people living in such despair, having nothing. There’s something just wrong about it.

It broke my heart.

But you know what’s worse? Seeing these people- who have absolutely NOTHING- smiling and thanking God… and dancing. It’s not that these are bad things, but it tears you apart seeing it, because you realize things about yourself, stuff you don’t really want to know. That ultimately you are selfish & ungrateful.

We have everything to be thankful for, yet we’re not. 

They have every right to not be thankful, yet they are. 

Doesn’t make much sense, does it?
