Hello ,
Architect Frank Lloyd
Wright once told of an incident that may have seemed insignificant at the time, but had a profound influence on the rest of his life. The winter he was 9, he went walking across a snow-covered field with his reserved, no- nonsense uncle.
As the two of them reached the far end of the field, his uncle stopped him. He pointed out his own tracks in
the snow, straight and true as an arrow's flight, and then young Frank's tracks meandering all over the field. "Notice how your tracks wander aimlessly from the fence to the cattle to the woods and back again," his uncle said. "And see how my tracks aim directly to my goal. There is an important lesson in that."
Years later the world-famous
architect liked to tell how this experience had greatly contributed to his philosophy in life. "I determined right then," he'd say with a twinkle in his eye, "not to miss most things in life, as my uncle had." (1)
"And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful." Mark 4:19
God wants to converse with us...but sometimes we get too busy. We can often miss some of the most incredible moments in life by always staying in a "busy" mode. Sometimes God wants us to stop, rest,
rejuvenate, and relax. Yes, God wants us to "stop and smell the roses." He wants us to hear what He has to say, and to rest in His ability to save us.
Have a great day and God bless!
