Telling stories...

My story is just a sideline in someone's else's story. 

The "big story" may be about them and their redemption,
right in the big middle of my failing
or falling.

I rarely get to know.

When I do,

it's a

GIFT!

And I get to step aside

(once again)

with

GRATITUDE,
remembering

(once again)

it's not about

me.

And then, sometimes,
if I'm really paying attention,
I will see that
my failing and falling
(in their "big story")
actually
led to 
REDEMPTION 
in my own "big story" 
as well.

Amazing, isn't it?
