Finding Losing

A  L  O  H  A !

" Losing is

 a learning experience.

 It teaches you humility.

 It teaches you 

to work harder. . .

a powerful motivator. "

Ritu Ghatourey

" Find 

what makes your 

heart sing 

and create 

your own music. "

Mac Anderson

" -and if any one doth

 question you,

 Wherefore do ye loose it? 

thus ye shall say to him -

- The Lord hath need of it.' "

Luke 19:31

Young's Literal Translation

> < 3 3 3 ( ' >  

Don't you hate
losing things?

I do.

So when I thought
I'd left behind
a grocery item
already paid for
I felt a loss.

I'm not a scripture person
because I seek
what unites us,
not doctrinal arguments.

But immediately
words 
popped into my head:

"The Lord Hath Need of it."

I remembered
all the things I have found,
little gifts from the Universe,
often JUST when needed.

"Perhaps," I thought,
"I've really just repaid
my own
to someone who needs
right now."

I felt less a losing fool,
than a generous
Fool!

Sometimes things happen
for purposes we cannot see.

So I will make my 
things lost, or not found,
contributions.

Perhaps a greater need
is satisfied
instead of my own.

I like that.

What do YOU think?
