Parallels of Peril

It seems that my life parallels peril as of late, however I have found ways to remain joyful in these circumstances. As everything around me seems to try and suffocate the life from me I realized that I must go through this. Why well that's up for speculation, however with introspection at a future date I may have a more correct view than the one I have now. God is good, I have a place to sleep, a place to stay, a job, and for that I am grateful. If we cannot appreciate what we do have, and find the good in these things we begin to lose hope, desire, and our ideas of self satisfaction grow. The greatest men and women throughout history have showed a lack of personal desire and only an increasing desire for their fellow man. To give is great, to give more is holy. In the face of such peril, how sweet is the taste of redemption. In all things man seeks this. I am still here by the grace of God, and for that I will give thanks.
