Play Doh
My brain is a hodgepodge of miscellany right now. Trying to discipline myself to read the Bible, the devotional, be a better human being, manifest the good life. Let me tell you, I fall of the wagon every day it seems. The only thing that seems to center my brain is a childhood activity.
Play Doh is resurrecting my soul. No sacrilege to Jesus. Play Doh is allowing me to indulge a childhood passion to create. The pressure to create with that smelly concoction is not one of perfection, but mindless joy that is surprisingly bearing fruit.
I can roll that colorful confection in any way I please. If there is a mistake, it’s easy to fix, and if not its cheap enough, I don’t fret. I will gladly spare a few dollars at the Wally World to get some more. I don’t know if this will be the summer of rediscovering God through childhood joys.
You don’t want me to chase you. You want me to just be. Rest may be the hardest, yet most vital lesson I learn and relearn daily. With God, you don’t learn once, and have it mastered. You relearn the same lessons every day. It’s not that I don’t follow instructions, it’s sometimes that my free will, gives me false information from time to time.
I think there are times we all fall off the wagon, the important thing is we try to do our best but don't beat ourselves up if we misstep. In some ways it is a gift and a reminder for us to carry on :) Wishing you only the best of good things my friend and congratulations on starting this new blog.
ReplyDeleteWe need approach the Lord as a little child. It is what the bible says He wants us to do. Find your inner child. Let the blessings come naturally.

DeleteFinding that grounding and mindless joy in a simple activity like Play-Doh is a beautiful thing.
ReplyDeletePlay Doh has proven again that it is a multi use tool to help the brain relax and focus.
ReplyDeleteLove the play dough idea. Who would have thought of that...someone who pays attention to what works for them.. that's who, that's you. Free Will ...what a gift...the Ego loves it. That's hard mind set at times to let go of. I work at that daily.
ReplyDeletePlaying with Play-doh- I love it! I should try that while listening to some of my favorite podcasts that are Christ centered. I have been really blessed by learning from those whose wisdom and Bible study surpasses mine.
