MY EARLY MORNING WALKS TELL ME HOW WONDERFUL LIFE IS

  

 

-----------
Good morning, world .......... So the rains have gone now and I feel summer setting in. Hot as early as 7:00am... there's no doubt that Mr. Sun is back in the groove again. Just as I am back in the walking groove again, too.
.
Flowers on my early morning walk. ------- If there's anything which lends such wonderfully exhilarating and interesting morning walk, it's the sight of gorgeous flowers spread out through the various paths traveled. I feel the warm smile of Mother Nature as she pokes the flowers to bloom even more. And I would think for my benefit... hahahah ... Di masamang mangarap🌹😊😘
.
But to truly appreciate it, one must truly see not only with the eyes but with the heart. As my mom would say..... "A thing of beauty is best appreciated with the heart."
.
And sometimes something of beauty is even more best revealed when you look closer. As I did with these flowers and plants.
.
But.....
.
Looking at the scene at a distance or up close, thoughts came gliding through my mind........Reminding me of life.
.
The path I walk on and the plants that adorn it along the way... is so much like life. The path, rough rugged uneven and at some areas punched with holes makes the walk quite a challenge at times. That's like life dotted with concern, anxiety, worry, problems, hurdles, and everything else which could cut you down in half excruciatingly. Makes you want to cry. Pray you definitely will.
.
And then something happens.
.
A patch of brilliant green there..... a patch of blazing red and yellow... a wedge of bright lavender... a bush of deep green with tiny white buds rising from its top.... or the rustle of branches atop trees dancing to the wind.... and many more like it. You feel so awed and delighted by it all.
.
It lifts up your soul... makes you smile.. energizes you... beefs up your inner strength... and makes you feel wonderfully renewed..... and allows you to carry on one more good day.
.
In life these refer to ----- the amazing and wonderful people around you who help you through the humps and bumps in life........ the unexpected breaks which move you towards success........ the sudden provision or opportunity........ the good boss who understands you........ the family who supports you through thick and thin........ the stranger who returned your lost wallet........ a friend who calls up on the phone and spends time patiently listening to your woes........ the friend although from afar supports you in your dream or dreams........ the person who believes in what you do........ the person who lifts you up when your dreams fall apart........ the baby sitter who takes good care of your children while you work........ the helper who cleans the house so efficiently without close supervision........ people who go the extra mile to help you in your concern in whatever way they can........ the blessings that God sends your way out of His great love for you.

That's right, my early morning walks remind me just how wonderful life is. Unfailingly. It opens up my eyes and makes me understand that I (or you... or everybody) have all the help and blessings needed to live this life. God put it all there. HE didn't mean us to be alone and helpless. All you have to do is to see with the eyes of your heart.. and listen with your heart. All you have to do is believe.
.
And have a little faith. Even the one as big or small as a 'mustard seed'.
.
Hugs to you all! Have a blessed day. In Christ.
