Success

My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and talents.  ~ Mahatma Gandhi

What is of greater value?

 Good morning!

Value.... as I woke this morning I thought about a man....a man who needed work done. He had the currency but wasn't willing to pay....but his need for the work being done grew...and still no one was available for the work he needed someone skilled to perform. What is of greater value? ....
Again, another man came to mind.....we keep hearing about the man who found a treasure and bought the field it was in or the merchant who found a great pearl and sold what he had to have it....but what about the ones who sold the field and who had the pearl in plain sight? I would think the one who sold the pearl had their eyes set on something else of value that they had no desire or need for the pearl. Or the one with the field...what if he hid the treasure, but forgot about it....and why was the other man digging around in a field they knew belonged to someone else?
I think it may be time for us all to shift our view of "value"....it can always use an upgrade. 😉 I think recognizing in each day what/where/who you have put value in and why is a beautiful exercise.
The boys were at a music festival and the judicator closed each session reminding the children to go and express their love and gratitude to family and teachers.....in light of the accident that occurred in this last week...
Yet there are those dismissing the value of their loved ones yet crying for someone else's loss and pain....that the ideas and thoughts that diminish the value of those in our lives are more important (and thus of more value) than taking a moment to sit silently and observe the beauty, awe, and wonder of what we have been graced with in our presence....it is not for us to possess and think nothing of it...it is for us to experience and appreciate in the moments it is there. ❤
Love deeper, be in awe and appreciation a little longer, and recognize the value within your days.... ❤
