I was sitting with the "God given heaven sent love of my life" last nite outside, during the "sacred hour"... sunset.. and "reflecting" on various things.. as we tend to do.. when it started to sprinkle. As we were sitting by our extremely calm and still pool...really nothing was moving.. one and I mean just one tiny drop made it's way down into the pool... to my amazement there was a "reaction" in every part of that pool from one end to other. Of course we've all studied science and realize to every reaction there is an equal action or reaction to it.. but for some reason God spoke to me in this simple act and I just can't get it out of my head or heart.
It became so clear to me that no matter what we do each day, no matter how big or small, positive or negative, we are that drop.. just like in the water.. close to us there is a bigger ripple.. but then those ripples bring more ripples.. yes they lessen.. but non the less there is still a ripple. We have affected the universe around us.
Over the last forty eight hours I have been working through some things that are not really news to me but has in some ways brought clarity to situations that I have always wondered about regarding long standing family issues. Like anything when these things happen I try to take time to ponder and really let myself feel the emotions associated with the things that I have learned.. and after I get past the initial "emotional" shock of the reality, I try to learn from it, see if there is anything that I can change to help the situation or where God would have me "settle" with it in a healthy way so that I can go on and live in peace.
I found it so interesting that after this had happened not even 24 hours later.. God showed me the drop in the pool.. and spoke so clearly.. what a little drop does.. it causes ripples.. and those ripples can be good or bad.. and the far end of the pool doesn't even realize where the ripple originated from.. yet it's stillness was still affected. Thus someones life.. be it younger generations or people further outside the original circle of influence can be affected and not even know the original cause or reason. Yet still their ordinary still life was moved to ripple, by the drop.. the action.
So the lesson for me was.. really think before I act.. as the ripple is long acting and far beyond what I can see or fix. So Lord.. let my actions be fitting to your expections and be pleasing to your eyes, and please let my minutes matter... :)
