more than just emotion...


"I mean, thoughts are just chemicals of certain temperatures and shapes that go through our brains, and that makes it easy to dismiss them sometimes, but this was pretty intense."

A friend of mine wrote that to me in an e-mail after he was singing a song and it reminded him of The Passion when Jesus was on the cross and they said, "women, behold your son" ..... I think it is very interesting when things enter our minds and then leave very quickly... sometimes we were meant to dwell on it a little bit more..

That sentence above reminded me of last week..

Last week when the trees iced over and had that cool look... I was
walking to work and I was enjoying the trees so much
and then there was a branch that was weighed down so
it was in my way of the sidewalk.. i was going to go
around it, but at the same time I couldn't resist
touching it so I tapped it and it made that cool
crackling noice and I just started laughing.. I know
like he said it was probably a chemical going
through me that just made me giggle, but at the same
time I started thinking about that tree branch all the
way to work and how it made me laugh. I mean it was
no inside laugh .. I laughed right out loud and then I
started laughing at me laughing.. So on the rest of my
walk I was thinking about how simply you can see God
in things if you just look. He made my day by a
little tree branch that had ice on it the other day..
I could of so easily missed that it was Him who gave
that joy to me, but that day I didn't...

I wonder how many more thoughts I let pass me by without thinking about them.. I'm talking about the simplest of ones... E-mail me some of your simplest thoughts that you had today.. Forgiven_o@yahoo.com
