The flower

A flower was planted in a special place, The flower the fruit of something so small. The beauty so exquisite, healthy and vibrant were the color of its petals. 
Everyone who saw this tender flower agreed this was the best of the field. It was placed in the best plot of ground. It was nurtured with all it needed the fruit was amazing!
A farmer saw the flower and wanted it for himself. He thought to give it to his wife. He handled it with such great care taking some of the best soil that surrounded it. He potted the plant to take to his wife. The flower needed a little extra care. The farmer was not aware. The little flower started to lose it's luster and soon the beauty was slipping away. Bye and bye the days came and went the Farmer's wife realized that she could not give the plant what it needed and was done caring for the once beautiful flower. A friend of the farmer offered his advice, with a little extra care that flower will again be pretty he said. The Farmer's wife said she was done caring for the little one. So the friend asked if he could take and nourish the once beautiful flower. They agreed and once again the flower was moved.
The friend took the flower and placed it among others in his flower bed. Once again the flower did well and opened its petals  and life began again to bring the color to the flower.
The flower was unable to grow because of the other plants that were around it they needed more and the soil could not provide for the needs of the little flower.
The friend of the farmer lost track of the tiny flower amongst the others. The Little flower had started once again to lose its color and began to give up and wilt.
A friend of the friend saw the little flower and began to nourish it and give it a little more than what it was given in the flower bed. And the friend of the farmer offered the flower to his friend because she loved the tiny tender plant so much. She was willing to give it what it needed to make it be successful. 
Knowing that she could not offer all the flower needed all the time, she offered an alternative to the farmers friend. She said "I know someone who would love this flower and provide the very best for it. Will you trust me to do that?"
Reluctant the friend saw the wisdom in her words and agreed to once again give the little flower a new home.
The friend of the friend gave the flower to a very nurturing home. One filled with love peace and power. A Home where the flower bloomed and continues to this day to do so.

Get up, get out, and stay out of the weeds

Often times I let my mind linger in the weeds. Lost in a pasture of things that don't really matter.  The things that need my time; The heart, the promise of peace, the joy that comes from a new born babies cry. The sadness of leaving behind the love of a lifetime to but start another adventure.  The things that tie us down and require something of us these are the things that matter the least. They are time drains. In these times the power is given to avoid.  All of these are but experience. Things that let us know that we are alive. Things that whisper that only life can bring. In these the simple things do we find the things that matter most!  Now is the time to build relationships. Now is the time to answer the call. Now is the time to climb out of the weeds and focus on the heart and the simple things prepared for man.

Listen

Listen  Sit back and you will hear the sounds of people running here and there.  All are caught up with worldly lives Forgetting what matters most Yet, All around the sounds are very clear, Clarity is the voice of peace.  Trust opens doors that  were shut And opens communication that calls on all those fighting to cease. Too often conflict arises due to misunderstanding.  To tell  a different story.  Reaction causes one another to lash out. In turn giving way to deception and fear.  the effort of peace and trust is lost. Leaving one to hope for cooler heads to prevail. Then once again to start down the road hoping to achieve some unity.

Learn From Opportunity

It is easy to find the answer when one is on the outside looking in. It is easy to be aware when not affected by outcomes. Somethings are easier left unsaid when not caught up in the emotions and fear of consequence.  It is easy to walk in the trail that others have carved. The life not lived is easy to find fault of. In the moment when decisions must be made it is easy to do what others might expect.  Now is the time to act, not to be acted upon. Be that person who looks on the heart of a man, take the opportunity to walk in his shoes. Seek to be the trailblazer rather than the vast many stuck in the ruts of life struggling to see a way out of the pain of history's mistakes.
