A Kindling Soul

As children bring their broken toys, With tears for us to mend; I brought my broken dreams to God Because he was my friend. But then instead of leaving him in peace to work alone, I hung around and tried to help, with ways that were my own. At last I snatched them back and cried "How could you be so slow?" "My child," He said, "What could I do? You never did let go..." -author unknown

Habits don't just come and go, they come, and stay, they rarely ever do leave. When a habit becomes a habit, we may never really know, Or so I think, as another habit weaves. Habits don't die, they live with us, Of course, they may go on a never ending sabbatical. Who knows when a habit breaks, no one ever does. Keeping a track seems fit, but impractical.
