"The Beauty of Listening"
In spite of all the unrelenting turmoil that surrounds us and that seems to have found its way into our everyday lives, we must continue to seek solace in the words with which I close this piece.
You see I am convinced that even though I remain FULLY AWARE of what is occurring around me I also recognize that the LOVE of GOD will sustain us and that we must not allow life's daily happenings to force us into a place where we fail to acknowledge all the splendor that is available to us, daily.
This piece...
"The Beauty of Listening"
was written and previously published during 2020.
Times were hectic then and it appears that the four-year period of respite was insufficient in ensuring that it did not befall us again.
I was perplexed as to why I was led to publish this piece then and I WAS perplexed as to why I was led to revise it and publish it now.
My answer, this piece is meant to serve as a reminder that we should NOT ALLOW external factors to force us into overlooking the WEALTH of GOODNESS that abides, in spite of life doing what it does-LIFING-even if a number of actions are being intentionally and nefariously orchestrated.
I am secure in the knowledge that through HIM, the righteous shall not be forsaken, nor HIS seed begging bread.
OUR SPIRIT...LIVES!
PEACE!
