Everyday we have opportunity to learn valuable lessons from the simplest situations. Today I was reminded of an important "life lesson" from a sponge! In Art4Healing classes, participants use sponges instead of paint brushes. Although our sponges had been thoroughly used and were ready for the trash, I noticed they had taken on a unique beauty of their own. While other's were gathering their paintings to take home, I decided to gather up our classroom "trash" for a photo shoot.
Everyday I am given a choice to "soak-in" colors. Will I choose from a palette of bitterness, greed and criticism, or will my life be painted with forgiveness, hope and joy? Everyday we are given opportunities to absorb the colors of truth or the colors of a lie? Every experience (every color) is designed to mark us, making us unique in the hands of a loving Master Artist, the Creator of the universe! What some consider, ugly, worthless trash... God lovingly renames as "beautiful and valuable."
