Inspiration at the Gas Pump

I'm sure that you never thought I would be inspired by a gas pump...indeed, the digital screen was sending me a message.  The screen was small and would only display a few lines of text.  The first screen said:
The best way to start...


The second screen went by so quickly, I didn't see it the first time... it said


your day, oh thank...


and the third screen said, simply.....heaven.


Now, of course, I understand this is a 7-Eleven slogan, "The best way to start your day, oh thank heaven." which is a good message all by itself.  But, now, imagine you missed the second screen like I did...
"The best way to start your day...Heaven" and the message becomes even more simple...and clear


This was a gas pump reminder to me: "have I been praying every morning?", "have I been grateful for the things I have?"


....just some thoughts to ponder...from a gas pump!

God is with us always

God's beauty is all around us.  In all that is green, in all that is bright and wonderful, even the sky, and the water; God is there.  God is in the quiet spaces, the dark corners, the drab colors of a cloudy day; God is there.  In your house, in your heart, in your life; God is there.  Find the beauty in all things and you will have found the way to know that God is with you always.

The Natural Bridge

This is the Natural Bridge, found in Central Texas...and the Natural Bridge Caverns.
Inspiration is often found in nature: God's inspiration for our Soul.
Consider this: how often have we felt that our life has become unmanageable, or adrift amongst chaos...and in our hearts we know that peace is just beyond; just on the other side...of what? The other side of the Bridge!  All we have to do is cross the bridge, without fear, anxiety falls away...and we can realize that we have taken a very short journey...but into a new place: the peace that passes understanding with a relationship with our higher power.  Don't be afraid.  Cross the bridge!
