OUT OF FOCUS

OUT OF FOCUS

I am not young, spry, strong, stable, and smart like you.

The photo above was taken hand held.

The photo below was taken with the same camera.  Of

the same object, in the same light, only a couple of 

minutes earlier.  BUT,  on a tripod.

THE DIFFERENCE IS HOLDING STILL.

Life is like that.

I know a "person" [Perhaps several] like that.  This 

person will not hold still long enough to truly hear.

Oh, this "person" says "Go on talking, I'm listening."

BUT,  latter it comes out that person did not hear 

what I was saying.  What this person was clearly

told, was totally unknown to them later.

Are we like that with life?

So engrossed with what we are doing, or want to

do, that we do not know where we are going?

God said;

"Be still, and know that I am God."

(Psalms 46:10 RSV)

"Be still before the Lord, and wait

patiently for him;"

.......

"Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil."

(Psalms 37:7 and 8 RSV)

Have you taken time to hold still and 

take stock of yourself to see where your

life is taking you??
