A Santuary in Our Mind

There are so many blessings bestowed upon us during our time on this earth. The birth of a baby; the glory or a bright yellow jonquil pushing up through newly fallen snow to welcome spring after a very hard winter; the sparkle of that snow as it falls to earth on a moon lit night when the air is crisp and clean. There are so many blessings sent our way everyday that no one takes heed of as we scurry from one place to another. Why have we let ourselves become too busy to worship the world around us? God gave us life and surrounded us with beauty that there are no words for and yet we take no heed. This must hurt his feelings so much. It would be like being Picasso and you were in the middle of a square, painting the most beautiful painting and no one noticed.. People passed by and bumped in to you and never noticed your masterpiece in the making. Everyday could be a masterpiece in the making. I know when you have Parkinson's Disease the pain and fatigue are ever blocking out the sun but..... it is there. Shut your eyes and visualize those blessings God has given us. Let those pictures that should flood your brain take the pain away. No matter how misshapen and pain filled we become, there is a sanctuary God has blessed us with where we can shut our eyes and be content in his glory. One of the biggest blessings God gives us is Friendships. They are such fragile little things when first started, a hug, a small smile, a kind word. Tiny little things that can mean so much in the cold and corrupt world of the internet. God brought so many beautiful people and minds together and did it so quietly no one realized a blessing was in the making. Little did I know when I stumbled into Patienslikeme.com that the blessings were there and the change in my life would be so drastic. The friendships formed there are like nothing I have ever known. We laugh til we cry and we talk about things we would never tell anyone else and genuinely feel better because of it. Could it be we have headed on a path that God does not like and he's stepping in to save us. Maybe he is trying to save us from ourselves before it's too late. I plan on checking out with a smile on my face. How about you? I plan to have made a difference. How about you? I know I have loved and been loved. How about you? Stop today and watch a wooly worm scurrying across the street or smell the rose by the driveway. Pick a hand full of dust up and let it sift through your hand in the wind. Turn your head toward the Heaven and thank God because your here and know he loves you so.......always pokie
