Becoming Grateful

Image
I am finding more and more that gratefulness is the path to true joy.  And we all want to be joyful.  The very thing that robs us is our own selfishness.  The most ideal way to overcome selfishness is to fall on our knees and pray.  Pray prayers of thanks recalling all that God has done, is doing, and has promised to do in our lives.  Sometimes its not easy to be thankful.  Sometimes we get so immersed in our desires and longing to control the circumstances that we fail to realize our error.  Our error is in thinking we control the outcome of our days and lives.  God is the one who directs our paths and sets us upon the Rock in this life. Another path to gratefulness is creativity.  As I have mentioned in other posts, creativity is a big part os what we were designed to do.  When we live into our true nature we co-create with God.  We utilize the gifts he has given us and make beautiful things alongside the Creator of all thing...

God Is Not Quarintiend Or On Lockdown

Image
Scripture and The Chronicles of Narnia both speak of God as being a lion.  Even Dinsey's The Lion King paints the picture the lion is the king of other animals. It's easy to see how the lion can be used as an image for the powerfulness of a king.  Male lions can weigh up to 500 pounds, and stretch out to 10 feet long.  This beast moves about silently on soft paws with claws like shark teeth.  Thinking about running?  You better run faster than 50 miles an hour to escape.  And that jaw can open up1 foot, and can claps down at 650 pounds per square inch, which is used to eat 18 pounds of meat per day... 70 hamburgers!  Not only that, but the roar can be heard 2 miles away. I'm not petitioning the lion is the most ferocious beast of all.  I am simply sharing the reasoning behind why the lion is considered a king of its domain and is used as a picture for kings. I share this with you to reveal the wildness of this creature.  And as...

Thriving Is Co-Creating with Christ

Image
Few people will notice that the artwork in this picture was made from recycled material.  It was made from an old oil barrel by the hands of an African man.  He cut out out a section, hammered it flat, drew the image on it, and then began cutting it out with metal sheers.  He then refined the shape and then hammered designs into it before giving it a final sanding and lacquer. If you take a closer look at the photo you will also notice little beads of light.  These are not manufactured by an editing program.  They are the beautiful result of a little crystal sphere that hangs in our living room window.  It takes the sunlight and casts it into tiny rainbows all over the floor, walls, and ceiling.  Every sunny day we are reminded of God's promises as the little reflections of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet speckle our home. How are you thriving right now?  I believe thriving includes co-creating with Christ in this worl...
