I WANT TO COLOR
Remember
the stage your kids went through where they always wanted to color
something? When you finally put their crayons away for the day, they
sometimes reverted to disruptive, unhappy behavior.
Could it be that creativity is the great healer? The great happiness
tonic for young and old?
We all color our own lives. Circumstances are like black and white
outlines but nothing takes on life and meaning until we color it.
Nothing happens until we fill in between the lines.
We color our lives through our dreams and visions. We see what happens
in our minds and then it comes to pass through the colors (feelings) we
add with our own personal crayons.
Those crayons are faith, hope and love. We see what can be. We see what
we want to be. We see the life we envision. We infuse our paintings with
love.
We are all creators. Wrongly we have come to think that there is a
special class of "creative people." We think none but the
writers, artists, sculptors and the like are "creative." Every
person is either creative or uncreative every moment of their lives.
If you are a janitor, you are either a creative or a uncreative janitor.
You color your own life.
Imagine each day as a white sheet of paper. When you awake, see yourself
coloring your life exactly like you want it.
Say to Heavenly Father what your kids said to you: "Daddy, I want to
color."
