who have you noticed today?
For the past 6 days I and a few others have been trained in Therapeutic Crisis Intervention, First Aid and CPR. We just finished our last exam, and I'm glad to be off for the next 5 days (my sister is coming!). I enjoy learning new things, but even more, I enjoy knowing that what I've been doing is what I am supposed to be doing.
It's also exciting to have another thing to add to my resume. I don't know why I care much about building up a resume, but figure that maybe some day, someone somewhere will hopefully be impressed by me. It isn't an odd thing to hope for, but possibly prideful. Or is it just the human desire to be noticed? The desire that our lives be significant to someone?
A quote from "Shall We Dance?":
"We need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet...I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things...all of it, all of the time, every day. You're saying 'Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness.' "
Another quote from a British chap:
"Life would be stunted and narrow if we could feel no significance in the world around us beyond that which can be weighed and measured with the tools of the physicist or described by the metrical symbols of the mathematician."
Sir Arthur Eddington
What would our hearts do if no one considered us worthy of something or useful for anything? Who have you noticed today?

Once again, a fellow woman writes about intimacy. It is what we all crave, in our "inner man", our spirit. If no one considered us worthy or useful for anything, well, that is hell. Thank God that he created us for fellowship with himself, that he values us over the rest of creation, to put us in charge of it, and to adopt us into his holy family as sons and daughters, brothers, sisters, and bride of Christ! If we just accept it, that is the road to heaven. If not, then we follow the way to hell. Too bad the latter is such a wide and oft-traveled path. It leads us where we do not want to go and leaves us where we started out, unfulfilled.
