Gently With the Flow

If the sky above seems cloudy,
And you are left out in the rain,
If you are searching for a rainbow,
But the colors bring you pain,

If your world is not revolving,
And there is no end in sight,
If you are looking for the sunshine,
But all you see is night,

If all around are smiling,
But all you can do is frown,
If you are tired of all this living,
When life just brings you down,

Then look beyond your teardrops,
At the wonders of this land,
The beauty of a flower,
Like velvet in your hand.

Feel the air around you,
The smell of new mown hay,
Laughing children in the park,
The innocence there at play,

Imagine floating with a butterfly,
As she flutters between the trees,
Or the whispers of the ocean,
On warm hot summer’s breeze,

Think of the taste of candy floss,
As it melts upon your tongue,
Or the melody of morning birds,
As they greet each day with song,

Remember words of beauty,
Told in your mother’s embrace,
Feel the gentleness of her touch,
As she softly kissed your face,

Seek the good within you,
Cast the clouds from your sky,
Don’t look toward the pavement,
But hold your head up high,

Think not what life owes you,
But of all you have to give,
Forget about tomorrow,
Then you can start to live.

So bless this age you are living in,
With the gifts you can bestow,
Don’t disregard the stream of life,
Go gently with the flow.

    This is so very good. It’s easy to get caught up in our troubles and to let that blind us to the beauty God gives all around. As humans we focus on what we’ve lost, don’t have or want and we forget all the things God gives us to replace what He takes away. What’s that old saying, “Stop and smell the roses”.

    I thank GOD every day for all of His blessings, his LOVE, family, friends, creatures, etc.
    When I go out alone on the upper deck, I look around at our acreage and life my arms to
    the sky and say “Thank you GOD for all of your blessings.” How beautiful the day is and
    look at the trees, listen to the birds chirping, etc. I know sometimes life stinks, but there
    are always things to be thankful for. Agree???

    MOVING ON WITH WHATSOEVER AROUND YOU, IS INDEED A CHALLENGE. I DO KNOW IT IS NEVER EASY TO MOVE ON EVEN WHEN THE ROAD IS ROUGH, BUT I WANT TO URGE ALL READERS TO MOVE ON WITH THE GENTLE FLOW OF LIFE, NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES.

    Gently with the flow you touched my wounded heart and thirsty soul.With your gentl touch my wound healed and my soul was no more thirsty.Then we were seperated and Gently with the flow I was wounded again and my soul been wounded too.You put ture smile on my lips and fill my heart with the true love which my thirsty soul always seek.I was slow and late to reconize it.

    Often, in the pursuit of pleasure we lose the grace of gratitude. Then it takes some tragic incident to help us see we need to let go of our prideful pursuit of pleasures and walk humbly in obedience to the Lord.

    Only then do we learn how to have a life worth living–a life that has meaning and purpose.
