Moments

I have come to firmly believe that life is made up of moments. Tiny snippets of time sliced out of busy and distraction of real connection between individuals. Eye contact with my son at bath time. Meeting a long missed friend for lunch. The kiss and tender touch of a loved one.  That is what I believe makes a "moment," the inclusion of emotion and allowing the circumstance to imprint itself on your life/mind/soul.

We believe that we impact the world, we are really here to allow it to impact us. It is through these times that we learn empathy, compassion, and service. These qualities enable us to move forward, facilitating "moments" with others.

Like water dropped into a pool it expands creating ripples and changing the surface of the world. The change does not begin with the world or with our acting upon the world. It begins when we allow the world to act and impact us. It gains in strength and magnitude when we then expand and impact others.

Allow it to change you. There are circumstances and situations right now working to act upon you, to create change. Be open to it. Allow the change to come and the ripples will flow, becoming ocean waves, sweeping pain, betrayal, and sin aside to allow the blood of Christ to wash over and heal you. To heal your loved ones. Be receptive. Be open to what God is trying to say to you specifically.
