“If you are faithful in little things…” – Luke 16:10a
I was so sad,
the moment I dropped the delicious plump blueberry down the sink.
I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!
But then my frown turned upside down, because I had a blueberry to drop.
A change of perspective!
I lost, but I had something to lose.
I failed, but I had the ability to try.
I hurt, but I had someone to hurt me.
Perspective can change everything, and that change of perspective will soon unfold the loss to see the gain.
“…you will be faithful in large ones.”
I lost, will soon be I possess.
I failed, becomes a second chance.
I hurt, will turn to I love again.
The question is, will we accept change when it comes? I believe we will have the courage to accept the coming new, if we can look beyond our present loss and see the treasure in the trial now.
So yes! I am thankful for the loss of my blueberry. Its loss gave me new sight.
Have you ever had the experience of losing a blueberry?
