Pushing through the dirt…

So, I have this work being done at the house. There are piles and piles of dirt in my yard. It looks like a war zone. And then at the top of one of the piles, some Daffodil bulb that has been dug up and transplanted a couple dozen feet away decides, “Hey, I don’t care if I’ve been traumatized, moved, dug up, shaken up, stirred up… I’m STILL going to bloom.” Do you know any people like that? I do.

RIGHT NOW!

I was reminded in a really nice song this morning to “Breathe it in and breathe it out, Listen to your heartbeat, there’s a wonder in the here and now, It’s right there in front of you, And I don’t want you to miss, The miracle of the moment.” Do something special, just something little, with someone you love today!

Going Places…

I got a chance to fly a LOT this month… four planes in two days… Yuk. It was really interesting watching all the people hurrying by and wondering where they were all going… Some on vacation, some on business, some for some event either happy or sad. We’re all going some place a lot of the time, and when we arrive we are too often thinking about where we are going to be trying to get to next. I wonder how different it would be if we just took one day and didn’t wear a watch or look at a clock or go anywhere or accomplish anything… I bet the world would keep turning… Seems like God had that idea when he gave us the Sabbath. We SO need to slow down in this world, and we say that, but we keep going at this amazing pace, don’t we…
