Pondering

I was reading a poem on a friends blog and a line of it really hit me:

WHO AM I?
I'm normal Joe unique.
I'm a crucial nobody.
A vital nothing
Bog standard precious.
A backwater special task force.
I'm a run-of-the-mill winner
A finish the course loser
I'm significantly minute
I'm an everyday miracle
I'm typically original

I'm limited eternal
I'm an off-the-peg one-off
Standard fare gourmet
A naturally supernatural
Fully grown halfling.
I'm an unknown celebrity
A hero in my own story
A line in His-story
I'm one of, and one-in six billion me
A nonenity V.I.P.

That's all and everything I am.

- written by Rob Lacey (and read at his funeral)

The line that really struck me was, 'A line in His-story' I don't know why, but it did. I suppose I like reading, and knowing that I'm a line in God's story really touched me, he cares about me, about what I'm doing, where I'm going today; who i'm going to meet, who i'm going to talk to. How I'm going to react when something that God knows is good (or bad) going to happen. How it will affect my life, the things that I choose to do today. Or similarly the things I don't choose to do today.

Suppose its just something to think about.
