Venting Out Loud

My Vibes...

Good Morning, Villagers and World...
Cock-a-doodle-doo... well, NOT today.

The Rooster and those Hens are still over there sleeping. Nobody is crowing, squawking, or carrying on this morning. But that's alright, because PRAYER has already gone up.

First and foremost, I thank GOD for another day of Life, Grace, Mercy, Provision, and Purpose. I have covered our Children, our Homes, our Families, the Sick and Shut-In, those battling Grief, Illness, Loneliness, and Uncertainty. I have prayed over our Communities, our Nation, and lands both Near and Far.

As I sat in Gratitude this morning, I was reminded of something POWERFUL:

If the Gift of Art is in your Hands, it is NOT random.

Whether you Paint, Write, Sketch, Sing, Build, Create, Encourage, or Inspire, your Gift was given to you for a Reason. What flows from your Hands may be the very thing that helps someone else Heal, find Hope, discover Purpose, or make it through another Day.

Never underestimate what GOD has placed inside of you.

Your Gift is NOT an accident.
Your Purpose is NOT a coincidence.
Your Creativity is NOT random.

Use it.
Share it.
Walk in it.

And as always...

Express. Heal. Transform.

**Good Morning, Villagers and World...**

Cock-a-doodle-doo! 🐓

The rooster is out this morning, and I believe he has completely lost his mind... I don't know what he and the hens have going on over there, but he started carrying on **BRIGHT** and early... I already have an alarm clock, so I really didn't need his extra assistance today! I almost wanted to walk across the yard, knock on the **COOP DOOR**, and tell him to go lay back down and take another nap... But anyway... we're up!

**FIRST AND FOREMOST**, I thank **GOD** for another day of **LIFE**, **GRACE**, **MERCY**, and **PROVISION**... I pray that He covers our children, our **FAMILIES**, our **COMMUNITIES**, the sick and **SHUT-IN**, and all those facing **CHALLENGES**... From sickness to **HEALING**, from uncertainty to hope, from personal struggles to situations affecting our nation and our **WORLD**, there is so much happening around us... We may not have all the answers, but we can pray, trust **GOD**, and do our part to be a source of light, encouragement, and compassion...

**THIS MORNING'S REFLECTION** comes from our quote:

*"The most dangerous blindness is believing your perspective is the only reality. Open your eyes, gather the broken pieces, and create a masterpiece called healing."*

**~ Stephanie L. Mursier**

Sometimes we become so focused on our own pain, **EXPERIENCES**, and viewpoints that we forget there are others carrying burdens we cannot see... **HEALING** begins when we open our **HEARTS** to understanding, growth, and God's wisdom... The **BROKEN PIECES** of our lives are not always meant to be discarded... In God's hands, those very pieces can become a **TESTIMONY**, a lesson, a blessing, and even a masterpiece...

The Bible reminds us in:

**Romans 8:28**

*"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose."*

Even the **BROKEN PIECES** have purpose... Even the difficult seasons have value... **GOD** can take what was shattered and create something beautiful through **HEALING**, faith, and perseverance...

As you move through this Tuesday, give yourself **GRACE**... Extend **GRACE** to others... Be open to learning, growing, **HEALING**, and seeing beyond your own perspective...

Have a blessed and beautiful Tuesday, Villagers and World...

**Express • Heal • Transform**
