I love these thoughts from a book I read recently.  

"Will I be there?  Will I be there with my open eyes?  Will I

unwrap the gift of the ordinary? Will I gather crumbs?  Will

I harvest angels hidden in those crumbs?  Glory comes streaming

from the table of daily life.  Will I be there to catch the rays or will

I remain blind to the holy because I'm too busy to see?  Am I too 

busy with my own agenda to let God's agenda bless me?"
