The chance:

Today is good.

Tomorrow may not be.

I have many chronic health problems. Some days, and they are rare, I’m not sure if I will make it in life.

But today is good

Today I can walk. Today I can type, today I am not in pain.

Tomorrow is a mystery. But today is Good.

Today, I have a chance.

I have a chance to live. To walk, to talk, and put things out into the world in a normal natural way.

Many people never get the chance.

Tomorrow, I may not get the chance.

But today is good… for me.

There is an untold number of people who never get the chance. Life and dignity is slowly stripped away from them. Their human spirits scream out, wanting, desiring…just… to do… to have…

a chance…

The Chance for them…?

I hope so. I pray so. I want so.

Today is good

For me

But today for them?

Is a mystery

Who will help them? Who will give them the chance. Who will fight for them, just to breath, to think, to live, and to love. Who will fight for the dignity and grace that they inherently should be given for the honor of the simple fact that they are human?

People have given me a chance today. Dr.s and Nurses have slaved hours to help me. Counselors have counseled, helping me see the light of day, when all seamed dark. People have prayed, calling upon the maker himself to intervein.

I am here today, today I have a chance, not because of my courage, or lack thereof, but because of them. Because someone chose to see me for who I am. A child of the divine. A beautiful human, however broken, but a human non the less. Because people saw in my eyes, me, and decided I was worth it.

Today, I have a chance.

A chance to Help,

A chance to heal, to give,

To love….

I have the chance to look into someone’s eyes… and see them-a beautiful if yet still broken human being.

By the Grace of God, today… I have The Chance.
