There are moments where the words;
pay attention
are written, almost scorched,
across my spirit, my mind,
and finally my heart.
These moments have changed me irrevocably,
irreversibly.
I learn what days,
weeks,
months,
and sometimes years of searching,
asking,
wondering,
and just plain living mean.
I learn why I had to confront a trial,
I learn why I needed time and patience.
I come to understand a quote that stuck,
or a thought I once had.
Things I thought I had understood take on a new,
deeper,
more purposeful meaning.
It’s in these moments that everything about living leads to one grand,
overwhelmingly simple culmination of truth.
It’s as though a mist has lifted and I can see who and what I truly am.
I’m awestruck,
humbled,
and beyond grateful.
“Gratitude is a Spirit-filled principle.
It opens our minds to a universe permeated with the richness of a living God.”
-Bonnie D. Parkin
