We can inhabit a variety of different landscapes, and I love living in environments where there is green, lush plants that give off delightful aromas. In my own space I try and make sure that I have colour and many plants that bring their own scents at various parts of the day. As an artist this variety enables my creativity to grow. Living with the different seasons changes this environment but each one is there that stability in knowing that the changes will bring about a richer landscape.
This made me think about our hearts and what our hearts landscape looks like. How we relate to others as we go through our experiences and what are we like as people to each other.....
....
Are we indifferent, cold and uncaring...
Do we only have harsh words to say to one another, are our actions based on hurts and deep wounds that we suffered.....
Or are we encouraging, supportive and caring, being a blessing with what comes out of our mouths, with every word we speak we can either support someones dream or tear it down.
At the end of the day our experiences have brought us to where we are now and we have a choice. Many have gone through a season of the different landscapes. Do you remember those people who spoke encouraging words to you as you were growing up, or who are in your life now?
Let us be the people that others will one day look back and think he/she was really a blessing in my life......what kind of landscape are you carrying around with you?
