Blades of Grass

Lady of Light

Have you ever noticed the near perfection of the landscape often designed by the local Memorial Funeral Home? Each blade of grass is bright green and every flower is positioned evenly with each leaf and petal looking healthy and colorful? Indeed, there is something awesome and refreshing about it. Did you ever wonder how many individual blades of grass comprised that well-manicured lawn?

Let's suppose that each blade of grass represented one of the 150,000 thoughts that travel through your brain each day - hardy, colorful blades of grass.

In the book of Phillipians, Chapter 4, verse eight, the apostle Paul admonishes to think on "whatsoever is good, wholesome, lovely, of good report..." Our thoughts need to be like these blades of grass!

Just imagine what the landscape of your mind, spirit and soul would be like if you were able to completely yield to these positive thought patterns suggested in the scripture. Again, visualize the beauty of that lawn and garden.

That could be you!

Consider, also, the choices you make as being as minute as the particles of grass. The decision to smile, to relax, to be joyful, to look at beautiful things, to eat something healthy, to read something uplifting, to listen to music that is soothing--etc.etc. If all the small choices and decisions you made in a day were positive ones, imagine more about the beauty of the landscape of your life.

Of course, we all have to do some "weeding" to maintain anything like this, but in the strength and power of God, we can all experience love, joy, goodness, peace and happiness.

That could be me and that could be you!!

God Bless You!
