Are you searching for what you already have?

I had the privilege of going to a praise concert this past week and the lead singer spoke of something that inspired my writing today……   

She spoke of how we spend so much time trying to find love in other things; we lose sight of all the love that is right in front of us. 

Are you spending the time to nurture and develop the relationships in your life that really matter?  Are you listening to those people around you….. the ones who need you? Need your attention? Your guidance?  Your love? 

Are you reaching for more when all you need is already there?  I believe that old saying is so true…… “the grass isn’t always greener on the other side”………….. when we throw a bit of fertilizer to what we have…… we will be amazed at the growth….the beauty… the love…..

I truly believe we should appreciate what we have….. family, friends…..all the things that nurture us…. make us happy…. support us…………… encourage us…. challenge us……make us really feel something good and positive…….  The most important things in our lives are the things that we should protect… nurture….be strong in…. love…..    

Things die when there is no love and attention….no food and water…..no sunshine….   Are you taking care of the important things in your life or are you spending all that energy on searching for what may be dying in front of you……………….  think about it……
