uniqueness of weddings & people
Today, I have been involved in wedding preparations for a girlfriend. Creating the atmosphere into a romantic elegant display of pretty things. Mirrors, white, satin ribbon, flowers, wreaths, bows, lights.
It made me think of how each of things on their own are pretty but do not create the same sense of pretty when they are combined. It is amazing how all these things when combined together, how much of an elegant and beautiful display it creates, how it evokes the ambiance of a wedding. All these things listed aren't necessary required to have a pretty wedding, but each of them bring prettiness.
It made me think about how each of us our unique, one of us might have pretty eyes or pretty hair, but when it is put together with our skin, our mouth, our arms, our legs, we are pretty. Really very pretty. The combination creates a uniqueness that cannot be changed or made to look like another.
Just as each wedding is unique...each of us is unique.
Cool, huh?

You can't take it with you...
This picture conveys a lot.
You can't take it with you. None of it. None of that stuff will go in your grave. It doesn't go with you to heaven either. It is pointless to accumulate things. You obviously need some to operate a life, but for the purpose of stuff, it is pointless.
I pray that as I work through 2014, that I continue my focus on what matters and get rid of what doesn't. Not just the continual evaluate of my belongings, but also friendships that are draining and not uplifting, emails that I subscribe to that I really don't need or provide value, Twitter noise, Facebook followers that don't engage in my life, events that consume precious time that do not feed a healthy me.
I want to have a simply life that is rewarding and encouraging.
May God help me in this quest to continue to remold me.
