Nehemiah Chapter 5


Appreciation

Appreciation is like looking through a wide-angle lens that lets you see the entire forest, not just the one tree limb you walked up on.

Happy Birthday to YOU!!

The Sanctuary Meditation


Oil on canvas, 16"*20"
Imagine you are opening a door which leads to a pathway in nature's garden. You start walking and with every step you are going deeper into your own sanctuary. With every step you take, you feel lighter, more energized, more peaceful and more centered. As you are walking, you take a look around and notice the beauty of this garden. This is your inner sanctuary. This is a reflection of you. Take a few moments to see, feel, experience and create it. Does it have a pond? Are there animals? Is it sunny and warm or a crisp bright winter's morning? Perheps it is the beach or a mountain top. Take a few moments to create it. Lie in the grass, swim in the pond, rest against a tree. Draw a picture. Play in this sanctuary for as long as you like before you turn back and return to the path, back to the doorway. As you leave, take one last look at this beautiful place. This is your inner sanctuary and you can return and re-create it as often as you like.

Embrace middle age...

1 Peter 4:12
[12] Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. [13] But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.

Rich or Poor?


One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.

On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?" "It was great, Dad." "Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked. "Oh yeah," said the son."So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.

The son answered: "I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them." The boy's father was speechless. Then his son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."

Isn't perspective a wonderful thing?

Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have. Appreciate every single thing you have..
