I'm talking about noticing that the leaves are starting to turn colors. The air that is getting crisper as each day flows into the next. What about the flowers that are slowly fading to nothing but branches? Maybe how standing in the sun in the midst of the cool air is probably one of the best places to be. Had enough nature? Ok now what about that person you've been ignoring? What about the unforgiven friend that's waiting on the other line of the phone? Are you going to keep pretending like you don't see that broken soul you pass by everyday asking for someone to just lend an ear? Can you relate at all? Realizing that you're blind yet?
NO? 400,000 people are dead in Darfur because we refuse to take action. Children halfway around the world are being sold as sex slaves. They need safe homes - but we need new clothes. They need counseling, but its okay - because we need a 3rd jacket. You know what makes it alright though? We can't see it. So why should it affect us?
I Corinthians 13 - read it. Maybe LOVE indeed IS the simple answer to life's most complex questions. Open your eyes - see the difference. See the hurt.
