'Playing in Sunlight'
Usually when I am down I take that time to go right back up. (Ben says that all the time..." you can get glad just like you got sad. (or mad)." You do that by counting your blessings. Aunt Dorothy (Ben's sister) use to say if she could not sleep at night she would start with the letter A and say a prayer and bless every person she knew with a name that started with A. Then she would move to B and through the alphabet. She never made it through with out falling asleep. She said often she would start at M and go forward just to cover new territory blessing her friends and family.
This might be a good exercise to actually sit down and do to see how many folks you remember that are blessings in your life and take the time to pray for them and bless them back.
I always compare it to tapestries and the beautiful woven strands of color. Each person is a thread in your tapestry of your life and as they come into your journey they weave in the special color they are blessed with. Each thread/person unique in their beauty and gifts. All different personalities, talents and skills. They bless our lives while they walk with us.
So who are the people in your tapestry of life? Some are close to you and always have been. Others are part of your journey for a short time. Today is a good day to give thanks for all the people who have touched your life in some way. Pray for them and surround them with your love. Bless them and give thanks to God for the beauty they bring to you. This is your tapestry of love.
