Magnifying Glass

Someone suggested, “Throw away the magnifying glass.”  What? Well, put a magnifying glass close  to a page of text.  What happens?  Some words will stand out quite large and other words will seem quite small in comparison.  But in reality, all the words on the page are the same size.  The point?  We sometimes live our life through a magnifying glass.  We make some things, such as problems, as we see them, much bigger than they are, and put everything else of value into the background.  We have no time for love, because we have this “HUGE” problem or situation that must be dealt with or solved.  Or we make “falling in love,” such a big deal that we have no time for other things.  We miss out on some of the wonder and awe of life, by magnifying other things.  So, right size problems lest you miss some gifts waiting for your attention.  Throw away the magnifying glass.
