Finding Focus


What if we couldn't see? 

Would we still love?

Would we still honor the one above?

Would we appreciate the sun rising?

What if we couldn't hear? 

Would we still walk in fear?

What if we couldn't touch?

Would we appreciate a hug much?

What if we couldn't walk?

What if we couldn't talk?

A lot of what-ifs right?

I once heard if someone is lame in one of the five senses, the other four are more aware, more activated. Like if a person is blind, they can appreciate the beauty of hearing a hummingbird. Or if a person is deaf, they can appreciate the communication and reading lips. In this life, with all the created noise around us, (good or bad)  we don't stop to enjoy the beauty that life has to offer. There are breathtaking mountains, free-flowing lakes, flower beds, birds singing, and so much more. We were given five senses (and probably more than we are aware of) to enjoy life and also create life. I've never heard a hummingbird sing, have you? Today, let's take the opportunity to appreciate the sun rising, the birds singing, and even when the rain falls. I think often at times, life throws us off course and we lose sight of the things that matter. The pain passed down and the pain present keeps us from living. No more will I see through a flawed perception. No longer will I see life through the eyes of another. I will look at the beauty of life through the eyes of Yahuah. How he created life to be. Life can be beautiful still if we allow it to be. Even in the fallen state, Yahuah, is still creating life. Today take a moment to create and enjoy life through the pains of it. I hope I provoked thought today๐ŸŒน.

P.s. "Raindrops keep falling on my head, and just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed, nothing seems to fit, those raindrops keep on falling on my head, they keep falling". But eventually, a rose will rise after all that rain. Be encouraged and be optimistic ๐ŸŒน๐ŸŒนA change is coming.
