favourite things *5

one of my favorite things is the smell of the ocean on a warm summers evening......

another way is possible......

a week or so ago i was walking to my car where i park for work ..when i saw an extremely tall guy opening the door to his little white mini ...i thought that in itself would be fun to watch .....when from behind came his wife holding the hand of their little toddler and carrying a little baby..i watched stunned as this family of four all piled into this itsy bitsy car...one which is even smaller than my bubble on wheels......why has this stuck in my mind i wondered...and i guess.. it's cause it has challenged me in the whole area of materialism...that there is always the pressure and expectation to buy bigger and better....and a silent expectancy that when people have kids they automatically need to find the cash to get a bigger model to hold their expanding brood...............well i have proof it's not necessary...i witnessed one very tall man his average sized wife one toddler and one baby all get into this car and be seated and strapped in safely...and this wasn't just a one of cause their real car exploded..i see them every day.......i find it inspiring in the age we live.....it is possible to live differently and go against the flow....another world is possible.....it just depends on whether or not we want to pay the cost that goes hand in hand with going against the grain......

tick tock........

time is one of the most important gifts we can give to someone....and more importantly to God..lately i have felt like time is slipping by so quickly......and not that it has been filled with meaningless things. some are important some necessary and some fun but also there are some parts of time i know i waste.........i really want to try and become more organised in certain areas of my life....so that less precious time is wasted.......it has always been said that time flies when you get older..but i overheard an old man say last week that it used to be the case ....but these days it goes just as fast for young people too............what does that say about the age we are living in.....blink and you will miss it.....what are you spending your time on???.......
