The Letter Q

There are some things that go unappreciated. The letter Q is kinda like that. There are so many times that we take the little things without appreciation. Think about the one letter Q. It's not used all that much, but when you need it you definitely need it. Or like in a game of scrabble, if you can make a word with Q you are definitely likely to earn a high score. I think sometime in our society there are a lot of things like that. Life itself is probably the most frequently taken lightly. There's family, friends, life, breath, love, and I don't know how many other things. The other day I heard a song on the radio and for whatever reason I thought about all the suffering people in the world. I thought about how down I get about my own situation, but then I thought about all the people that have it a lot worse. I guess in a way of speaking I shed a tear for humanity and society and all the things that go on in a day to so many people. I think about love, do we really show the people we love how we feel? Is it possible to ever do that so long as we hold on to ego? I mean what is the greatest treasure in life? What can you really not live without? I like nice clothes, but I can live without them. I like eating out at nice places but I can pass on that. Of course I I know we all need essentials like food, water, clothing, shelter, and health care...but we don't need the elaborate stuff like designer labels etc..I'm guilty at times of being brainwashed into believing that I do. But I don't...I need God, family, love. Outside of God, family, and love I don't know anything else that gives life significant value? I mean really? I need God because I know that his love, forgiveness, and grace is the only thing that keeps me sane in this world.  Family because this is the place where you can find peace and sanctuary. Love because it is the staple of all peace and hope for anything. But even those three things are like the letter Q- they have the greatest of value, but are often overlooked in the daily scheme of things. I guess what I'm telling myself is that don't forget to value the letter Qs in life. And always, God hears prayers-so take some time  pray and ....get in tune with yourself and see what's important to you.


Look for the Q in your daily alphabet-
