What color are you wearing?

Oh what a wonderful Sunday morning.  I went to Barbados Grace Fellowship this morning and the worship service was awesome!  God speaks to people in many different ways - mostly based on how that individual person is built and how they can best listen - but, today the worship service was totally music and it spoke to me - it was awesome!  They introduced me to a group called Jesus Culture?  I am going to have to download their music from iTunes.  I loved their songs - King of Glory, Can't Hold My Praise back from you - are a few that I heard this morning.

On my drive back home, I noticed so many different things about the island.  It is alive and well today.  You could just see it around - everywhere.  First, I passed a bus stand - and there was a guy just sitting there playing his guitar and singing away to his heart's content.  Man, I wish I could have parked my car and listened to him - I bet it was good!  Then, I noticed a young man carrying his young lady friend on the handle bars of his bike.  She had such an expression of pure joy!  Men say they can't understand women - but, this guy had it right.  She was being doted over and carried on his bike for the whole world to see!  He had her at Hello!  :-)

Many, many people were out and about on the streets - good day!  I am the type person that has never noticed many of the physical attributes around me in my world.  I have always felt bad about this - like I was deformed or something.  Like, not noticing what color shirt a person was wearing was a bad thing.  But, I am reading a book right now called "Eat, Pray, Love" - and in there the author comments that she has never been one to notice things about her physical surroundings.  That her sister came to her apartment that she had been renting for about 2 months in Italy - and immediately noticed the details of her bathroom - down to the pink tile - and that she had not even noticed these details in her whole time staying there.  I identified with this author!  I am that way!  But, she did not cut herself down - she viewed it as one of her unique attributes in comparison to others/her sister.  I started to think about this, and realized - I shouldn't be thinking that I had a deficiency in my personality/being - because that is just who I am!  Celebrate who I am!  Yes!  For example, I can not tell you what the young lady or young man on the bicycle were wearing today - but, I can describe for you in great detail the emotions that they were exhibiting.  So, if you feel down and out - that you are not good enough in some way - forget about it!  You are special, you are good, you have some unique qualities that this world needs.  Love yourself and your life!
