Alone Yesterday...Today and Think Tomorrow and The Next will Be Just The Same?

You need not be blue...you can wear blue without being blue if you choose...
You can however choose to rejoice and be glad about something...

Even if you must really practice searching out your heart, within your mind and neighborhood.

You can also couple your choice to change the way you look at your world around you...

You may in your yard today if you live in the same hemisphere as me and are experiencing spring...

You may have flowers growing..springing up before your eyes

Maybe roses, camellias lilies or irises ....

You may have never planted a garden or seeds of any kind in your life before now...

If you go out and seek what is alive before you and among you,
You will be surprised ...You shall see things you never saw before....because you never took the time to notice.

You may like me have wild flowers popping  in places some folks may say they should not be like growing to close to your house foundation or under and both sides of your fences...

You possibly complained about them for years...
Today Good Friday let us look for the life amongst our own death and darkness which has clouded our hearts, minds and eyes that we could not see the light and find pleasure in simple blessings!

Our Lord wanted to remain more intimately among and within us all...so on Holy Thursday which we observed yesterday HE gave us HIS Body and Precious Blood...
To eat and drink that we may always be in union with HIM at all times...
Strength for our journey our direction and guide...Our Good Shepherd...

Before HE the next day....today....suffered and died.
Regardless how many years it has been that you have stayed within the confines and darkness of your past sins....

Regardless how serious, your past transgressions....or how long it may have been since you came out of your house to smile at your neighbor...

Even if everyone who has ever known you thinks and says that you are a grouchy grinch...and too old to change...too old to love now...

Anyone can wake up and choose to sing and rejoice and to bless...
Be not concerned about who will think what...

Even Mother Teresa wrote a poem saying that if you are kind some will question your motives but be kind anyway!

If we consider what others think and let that influence our choices we give them the power to hold us in the darkness of our past...

WE...you and I must purposely choose to BREAK OUT of the prison of our own..
 making!
We must wake up singing new songs..

Today instead of pulling up those dandelions and other wild life growing up from your land....and tossing them into the trash to be burned or carted to a city dump.

Cut and trim them nice and place them in vases with love!

If you do not have flower vases anywhere in your house...not even in the back of a cabinet covered with inches of dust or even rust to brush and wash off...

I am certain you have containers of some kind in your home not made especially for flowers, but have no holes so they can hold water...

So lets transform what we have with time and love!

Wash up whatever you have and make life arrangements of love....
Place one in your own home and distribute the rest to your neighbors with bright Sonshiney smiles today with love!

If your neighbor has been your neighbor for years and you have either never met or ignored them for years...
You may find out that your next door neighbor has been just as lonely and depressed as you...
Your action in sharing wild flowering love...
Will open their heart life and world at the same time as your own...To the real light of the World...Jesus Christ whose tomb we observe today anticipating HIS Resurrection...which shall be ours too...

Only when we choose to reach outside of ourselves and not only receive HIM...but share HIM with each and everyone possible who is in our midst...So together right now after you have read this...Run for the life that is wild amongst you...and share with one another!

Blessings!
