The Search for It – Quote of the Week

June 15, 2013 By Jean Wise

Most of my life I’ve been in search of IT.

 And I thought IT came inside a big box with a bow on top carefully marked and labeled and numbered.

 I brushed away all the ‘incidental’ discoveries like cobwebs.


 But now everything counts. 

Now I search for traces of miracles, 
and I find them everywhere. 


 Monique Duval

    Its amazing what we are willing to devalue and step on in an effort to get a little higher and reach for “it”. Lord, Help me to live today, today, and help me to value the love and beauty you have brought into my life and not get side tracked by what I “don’t have.”… especially today.

    Living in the present is such a challenge, Mia but one I find I am seeking more and more. He is all around us if we open our hearts and eyes.

    Dear Jean
    When we really look live in the present and look around, we will see bushes all around us burning with the presence of our Pappa!
    Much love

    IT. Oh, yes, I remember you. You plagued my constant thought, polluted my desires. And you betrayed me, never giving what you promised. I look elsewhere now, at least most of the time.

    miracles everywhere … and now for keen eyes to see and a tender heart to receive their gifts.
