Playfully Enjoying the Wonder of Being Alive

Daily writing promptDo you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you?View all responses

Like a little child, I love to playfully enjoy and appreciate the gift and wonder of being alive. I didn’t ask to be on planet earth, but I’m so grateful that I get to spend some time here in this marvelous place in the middle of the void of space. There are so many good and amazing things about being alive on earth that I’ve yet to ponder and celebrate. My pain and struggles don’t negate the fact that I’m alive and free to partake of the joy of taking time to contemplate and treasure the intricate complexities of creation that continually amaze me. Since nature is so astonishing, how majestic must its maker be! I’ve trained myself to focus on His glory through each day, and one day I’ll see Him forever face to face.

As the years
Grow in number
Awake from
Your slumber.
Remember that
Time is winding down
And you won’t
Always be around.
Open your heart
To contemplation
That fills you up
With inspiration.
Throughout each day
Take time to ponder
And embrace the joy
Of life’s wonder.
Then you’ll see
Life’s full of meaning
And your face
Will be gleaming.

Even when
Conscious awareness
Of your Creator seems
Nowhere to be found
He is still around.
Say a simple prayer
That He will make
You aware
That He is right there
Where He’s always been,
Still calling
And searching
For you.
Read and absorb
God’s Light in the Bible
With a hungry heart.

The beginning of a new year is a great time “to be made new in the attitude of your mind and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.” (Ephesians 4:23-24.)
