God gave me a lesson in gratitude while I was waiting outside a convenience store for a friend who was inside paying for gas.
While there, I overheard a heroin addict on a a pay phone making a drug deal. His clothes were dirty and he kept looking around nervously as if he was doing something wrong and about to be caught.
I heard the stress in his voice as he implored the dealer to hurry up with the delivery and it transported me back to over 21 years.
For at one time that was me. In those years I lived in the insane cycle of being either sick or high and never being able to get enough drugs to keep balance in my life. And then there was the constant fear of being either caught with drugs or arrested while stealing something to trade for drugs.
Before I left I handed him my card in case he someday wants help. As my friend and I drove away I was awash in gratitude. And grateful to God for delivering me from my addictions...
