MINUTES

There are moments when we find ourselves wishing we were doing something else for those thirty minutes or sixty minutes, having to be somewhere we’d rather not be. It could be visiting a relative, sitting in a house of worship or going to an activity because it means so much to another person. Looking at it as only a few minutes in a day, week, month or year, it really isn’t long at all. Those few minutes of time can result in everlasting memories.

GENTLY: Part II

Some have asked me to tell a little more about the soul I envisioned. There is a story how this picture came to me. Not long ago, I learned on the news a young man had been attacked by a shark. A friend carried him to shore, but it was too late; his leg had been severed, causing him to bleed to death. Immediately, my mind saw the soul that had left his body, having the shape of a cloud, creating waves of color. I felt a spiritual connection with this young man, though I never saw a photo of him nor had heard of his name. It gave me comfort, God giving me insight of how our colorful souls leave for Heaven at the time He asks us to join Him..

GENTLY

At one’s passing. I envision God’s angels gently holding the soul, casting a transparent myriad of colors, glistening like an aged bottle, light as a cloud. Some colors are more pronounced, conforming to the wisdom, love, struggles, and laughter experienced while on earth. It eases the mind for those left behind, feeling the peace of God’s radiant light in this time of darkness.

Unique

God made life unique. Leaves differ, veins creating intricate designs. Pebbles and stones carry individual shapes and varying tinges of a color. Brittle seashells have distinct, elaborate, stories to tell. Prairies of grass and and masses of trees make fresh music in the cool breeze. Mortals are part of every specialty in nature. In God’s recipe, the ingredients are a shade different from our fellowman. We love one another, for the formula we have been given.

TENDING

Switching gears to move at a slower pace is rewarding.  Surroundings do not become a blur. There is time to smile at a stranger and wave hello to neighbors. Breathing is nice and steady. A sense of peace is a healthy way to take care of ourselves, giving the means to tend to those in need.

POWER

Respect. A word that has a universe of power behind it. It indicates courtesy, grace, compassion, politeness, gentleness and dignity. It signifies kindness, benevolence, consideration, being thoughtful and treating others with a kind heart. It is how God wants us to be. Practicing respect makes the world a better place.

SEEKING

In every life, there are mountains to climb, reaching the hope we are seeking. There are valleys below, ready to bury anger, leaving a harmony of silence behind. Seeds blow, embedding their roots deep into the soil wherever we walk, blossoming into petals of angel wings. Mazes of winding rivers and clear lakes are anxious to wash away sadness, misdeeds and guilt. Contentment and joy remain, filling the soul. The spirit triumphs. A prayer to God is made, feeling blessed to live in His world.
