Dear Friends,
Sometime during the night a smoke detector in my house began to chirp. It wants my attention and requires something from me. The ceiling is high — higher than my ladder is tall. I placed a request online for someone to come to tend to it and that appointment is a few hours from now. Its steady chirp has my attention and it has set some thoughts in motion for me.
The variety of things that I can and want and need to give my attention to is vast. So many things to tend to, to enjoy, to plan, to accomplish, and so on. But, this chirp, chirp, chirp at steady intervals does have my attention.
Okay now, this is weird, but as I was writing that last paragraph, my smoke detector seems to have ceased chirping????? Yep, not chirping now. After several hours of chirping. Really? What’s up with that? I cannot stop smiling. Still not chirping. Goosebumps.
I’m going to enjoy chewing this over for a while. It makes me think about how things, big and small, step into the foreground of our lives and chirp, demanding our attention. And how, usually, after a while, they fade into the background into a less relevant place.
How I do love this delicious, interesting, fun, and full life I get to live. I am really looking forward to this upcoming Abraham NOW broadcast, on Saturday and the variety of your wonderful questions for Abraham. If you would like to join us, click here!
I love and appreciate you,
Esther
