Sprinkler

Growing up, I never was a big fan of the game, hide and go seek. Shocking. I know. But true. The concept of someone hiding from me and I had to find them? No thanks. Lightening bugs, Barbie and Mammaw's huge magnolia tree were more my style.

Perhaps much of life is hidden and you have to dig to find that pot of gold. Perhaps it is right in front of your face. Is it a matter of taking off your shades or grabbing your shovel and getting to work. Either way- the game of hide and go seek will always be with us. As time goes by the name of the game changes to: life.

Work will always be work. It will always be there. Stress happens. It will always be there. God is good. He will always be there. Much changes. Much remains the same. Is the grass always greener on the other side? Or- Is the grass always greener where you water it?

As I learn more about myself, I am challenged to remain faithful in the fact that during dark times and confusing times- I am taken care of. I've been forgiven and I am loved.

Turn your sprinklers on. Water your job, heart, relationships and faith. It will grow. It will change. It will be fabulous. Find your happiness. Faith.
