Locks......

My Thought for this Day......we are a society of locks. We lock our homes, we lock our cars, we lock our offices. And how sad that we must. But frankly to be prudent in this world, one has to. This morning let's delve a little deeper. There are so many things that if kept under lock and key,will wither and die. Our Gifts of the Spirit are to be used not only daily, but possibly hourly or even minute by minute. Our courage and graciousness and generosity should never be kept under lock and key. Our honor and strength should be visible and used until they are polished stones. Quite frankly, we are locking away the things that matter the least.......the big screen televisions, the diamonds and gold, the dollars and cents. Our most valuable possessions can not be stolen, but can wither and die if we so allow. Today, use your keys to lock away your earthly things, but please wear the others with the assurance that they will not only never be stolen, they will be honed and grown and brightened with their use. Take pride in not what you 'own', but what you 'live'.
