An old favorite

So I was digging around my shelves for something to read when I dug up an old friend. The Zork Chronicles by George Alec Effinger. An amusing book, full of tongue in cheek. You view the story through the eyes of the hero's guide. Without any spoilers, there's a twist that turns everything around for the guide. Turns out he's more involved in events then he originally thought.

Glorian(the guide) is often funny because he is so blase about the adventure he is on. An experienced mentor of heroes, he has seen it all. He misses a few cues because he has this "been there done that" attitude. The same could be said of us. We get so involved in our routines that we don't look up. Thus we miss some of the opportunities to serve, to grow in our walk with Jesus, or simply to revel in the glory of creation.

GOD chose us to be active participants in HIS grand design. We are all more involved in events than we can possibly imagine. No one was made to strictly observe.

So... It may be trite but stop and smell the roses. HE made them just for you.
