Learning to Fly

Today June 23, 2014,

Have you ever sat at the park and had seagulls fly overhead and you prayed they don't crap on you?  My picnic glass is so busy being half empty that sometimes I miss what is really in front of me.  After a few bird swoops and a few duck and dodges, I bucked up, remembered I wear glasses, kept my mouth shut tight, and today I really saw the streamlined under carriage of a seagull.  He tucked up his feet and did a sort of pump pump glide motion the way I used to get my swing to maximum height as a child. This was just second nature to Mr. Seagull, but to me, a miracle to behold.  Can miracles be second nature? Do we just go about life pump pump glide and wham a miracle steps in? Sometimes... Maybe we go about lifing and we are someone else's miracle not even realizing it... pump pump glide.

God's design for us is so complex, it's simple, so mind blowing it's peace, and so magnificent it is pure.  Love is the miracle, and we can tap into it every day, just by recognizing his hand in our lives.  He is everywhere.  He is with the Seagull, the sunset, the flowers in the garden, and even residing with us if we allow him to be in our hearts. When we can be open to this, to let him in, we can be the miracle, and it can become second nature. We can do what the Lord asks of us even if it is very challenging.

 Believing in Christ is great, being Christ like is better...
The Seagull reminded me to be Christ like on my new life path. To remember him in all things,to remember he is with me, and all will be well with me.  I will be strengthened, I will see miracles, and I will be able to help others along the way. I think I am finally learning to fly... watch me go.... pump pump glide.
