Life...to the max!

...a fable: The Weight of One Voice

"Tell me the weight of a snowflake," a sparrow asked a wild dove.

"Nothing." was the answer.

"In that case I must tell you a marvelous story." the sparrow said.  "I sat on the branch of a fir when it began to snow.  Since I didn't have anything better to do, I counted the snowflakes settling on the twigs and needles of my branch.  Their number was exactly 3,741,952.  When the next snowflake dropped onto the branch...weighing nothing, you say...the branch broke."

Having said that, the sparrow flew off.

The dove thought about the story for awhile and finally said to herself:

"Perhaps

there is only one person's voice

lacking for peace to come about in the world."

...have had these thoughts for years now...

...not sure of the original source...

...but welcome and needed words at this point in time for us all...

...weekend pondering:

...just finished a long Skype appointment with a growing, developing, dynamic leadership team in another part of the country, and something said in the course of the vibrant conversation we shared brought me to look up portion of scripture:

"This is the brand-new covenant that I will make with Israel when the time comes.

I will put my law within them—write it on their hearts!—and be their God.

And they will be my people.

They will no longer go around setting up schools to teach each other about God.

They'll know me firsthand, the dull and the bright, the smart and the slow.

I'll wipe the slate clean for each of them. I'll forget they ever sinned!"

God's Decree.

...Jeremiah 31:34...from The Message

...if that's not good news...then I don't know what good news is.  :-)  Good to read in several versions/translations of the Bible...and I'm wanting to trust and believe and live into the goodness of God for my life...and invite that for yours, as well.
