I went to a graduation party Saturday night. Great time honoring a great gal who has worked very hard. While sitting in the back yard eating blackberry cobbler I commented on how nice the yard looked to the hostess. She agreed and then shared a great insight.
The hostess shared how she had grown use to the disrepair and how little things had become common and normal. How she looked right past them and they never caught her attention. It was the little things that seemed to have stopped life around the yard. Once she took notice and began to move forward with the little issues of the yard things began to change. Today the house is freshly painted, the yard is a island of peace and beauty.
My friend continued with how the same is true inwardly. She talked about how it is the small things that stop spiritual growth and living life to the fullest. I alway love listening to people as they share their insights with passion. I sat there for a few minutes and listened with delight.
Are the little things in your life stopping forward progress in you finding your life purpose? How you become comfortable with the internal disrepair and peeling paint of your spiritual or emotional life? Have you given up and settled for status quo when you could be enjoying a inner life of peace and beauty?
Stop! Look inside! Are there weeds choking out the fruit of the Spirit? What one thing little thing could you do that would start the process of change?
Don’t run off to another blog until you have sat and considered my questions and have formulated a plan. I know you want one so that the time, another cup of coffee and find one thing to do different today.
