Rock

A friend gave me a rock to remind me to treasure my time, and to use it wisely.
I'm going to keep it with me. I can't remember the story exactly, but basically, someone had a basket full of rocks, and started to throw them out randomly. Sometimes more sometimes less until only one rock was left. As he looked at that one rock, he started to think "what have I done with all the other rocks". So basically, at the end of my life, when I only have one rock left (or not a lot of time basically) I don't want to look back and realize that I really didn't do much with my life.

Snow flakes

This morning, the snow flakes fell very slowly. When they fall fast they are dangerous, but now when they fall slowly like this they are harmlessly and beautiful.

To think, this water could have came down in the form of frozen rain, hail, snow storm, or pouring rain.

glad it came down this way today.

reminds me that Gentleness is a fruit of the spirit, and that we should choose to do things in gentleness like the way water fell on the earth today.
