Aspirin...

"Aspirin goes a long way back. I read in the Bible the other day that Moses took two tablets."


It's for a reason, pills were invented. But seriously... life can become exhuasting and overbearing. Here goes an email I sent a dear friend in reply to her email. I am ommitting parts for her anonymous sake:

Dear Anonymous,

I could tell you a gazillion reasons why you shouldn't feel that way. Atleast a hundred people whose heart you would destroy. A million more problems you would create. And definitely one big world you would rob of your smile.

BUT it wouldn't change a thing if you don't think about what I am about to tell you...

The night before Jesus died on the cross, He felt alone, abandoned, unimportant, unappreciated. He felt depressed with seeing humanity as it was. In that moment, Anonymous, He was reading your life's diary. He was zooming in on this specific part of your life. Waiting, trying to see beyond it. Trying to see you through it. He wanted to see what you would decide.

And He is still waiting. waiting. waiting. for you to go to HIM. Let it go. Let yourself be loved. Accept forgiveness.

Only then will be able to appreciate and take in all the love around you. The love that shines when your little brother secretly waits for you to get home. The joy you bring your mom every time you walk through the door. The peace you bring to ppl like me who need something to smile about. That sense of security you share with your sister. That everything will be okay as long as you are there with her.

You know I feel like crying. But I wont because i might get fired. yes, there is much to cry about. especially when a dear sister feels like her only option is... the inthinkable
