Presence of Mind = Presents Of Mine!
Today, I'm praying for clarity....for peace.....for a thankful heart full of gratitude and awareness in my life. Not just an awareness, but a presence of mind to truly EXPERIENCE the blessings in my life. A consciousness of my surroundings, actions, words, deeds, the wind, the sunshine, the swirl of music, the soft encouragement of a friend....the smile on the face of the store-keeper given freely, the squeals of delight from the mouths of children, the fragrance of fresh flowers showing off in my own back yard. The ability to just stop and APPRECIATE all I've been given. The power to stop always looking ahead.....always waiting for the next thing.....always setting up tomorrows profit......the power to live in THIS moment and enjoy the thoughts on my mind and feelings in my heart. The gift of undertstanding that "presence of mind" will lead me to and allow me to embrace all of these "presents of mine". Glory be to the Father, the giver of every good and perfect gift.

Well thank YOU Ted..! I really appreciate that. Sometimes I just feel that God impresses things upon my mind and heart, and find it easier for me to process if I collect and write these thoughts/personal revelations down! If anyone else can benefit and get something out of the words, then I am humbled God chooses to use them for His glory. Thank you for stopping by, and for your comments. Peace be with you my friend.
