Days

On a beach vacation when you wake up ever so slowly; stretching…one leg out from under the covers; partial back peaking out…a slight breeze from the ceiling fan mingled with a soft cozy touch of a blanket…just warm enough to give care but not so much as to break a sweat…those days…the ones when time stops…

When the window shade opens mysteriously by a shadowed figure in the corner…that you later recognize as one of your children…frazzled hair…bad breath…maybe some sand brushing your feet…those days…the kind that compel smiles…

A good long stretch…a yawn…a screech…“Morning” creeps out; under toned by more yawning…

Coffee on the deck…donuts covered in powder and oozing with cream…

Calm water…endless horizons…sea gulls calling

Those days…

Thanks

The most thrilling moments of fullness that I have experienced over the past few days have been the witness of Glory found when gazing upon the rising sun, the stunning glimmer of pinpoint lights piercing the night sky, and the warmth of Joy found within my daughter's smile and giggle - the comfort of Love wrapped around me within the embrace of my son.

None of these things would increase or decrease with the size of my purse. They are eternal. They are not bought or sold. They are mine by the Grace of God.

Usage

How did you use your eyes yesterday?
How did you use your mouth?
Your ears?
Your nose?

Did you use your hands wisely?
Were your legs useful?

What did you do with the energy given to you as you ate of the bounty of the Earth?

As you absorbed the Joy of creation - did you allow any to flow through you - outward - back from where it came - yet altered - altered through you... I hope you did not consume all of it!

What does this day hold? How about tomorrow? Next Tuesday?

Will the Glory of time and space be for the better because of you?
