Bits and pieces

People, people important to you, People unimportant to you  cross your life, touch it with love and move on.  There are people who leave you and you breathe a sigh of relief and wonder why you ever came into contact with them.  There are people who leave you,  and you breathe a sigh of remorse and wonder why they  had to go and leave such a gaping hole.  Children leave parents, friends leave friends. Acquaintances move on. People change homes. People grow apart.  Enemies hate and move on. Friends love and move on.  You think of the many people who have moved in and out  of your hazy memory.  You look at those present and wonder.  I believe in God's master plan in lives.  He moves people in and out of each other's lives,  and each leaves his mark on the other.  You find you are made up of bits and pieces of all who  have ever touched your life.  You are more because of them,  and would be less if they had not touched you.  Pray that you accept the bits and pieces in humility and wonder,  and never question and never regret.  Bit's and pieces, bits and pieces.
