Today as I was watching a scene from the movie 'Unbroken', I watched a man look down at his 'bunk' really just a wooden pallet with a thin wafer like 'pillow' and it reminded me of all the times I spent trying to sleep in a cold holding cell on a hard bench with a wadded up paper sack or nothing at all for a pillow. Sometimes handcuffed, occasionally beaten and often going through withdrawals. And I am reminded of all that I am blessed with today and feel guilty for my attitude.
There was a time not too long ago that I was overjoyed to receive a set of shoe laces.
Lord, forgive me for my forgetfulness. Forgive me for my selfishness and never let me forget the depths from which I've come from or your amazing grace that brought me out of those depths. And let me be forever grateful for however much, or however little I have for your grace is sufficient for me.
Amen, and amen!
