ASPIRE TO A VISION

A scene in the movie Karate Kid was quite striking. Daniel went to see Mr. Miyagi and found him trimming a delicate bonsai tree. Daniel was fascinated and wanted to try it, but he had no idea how it was done. Miyagi told him to close his eyes and picture in his mind the way he wanted the tree to look. After Daniel found that vision in his mind, Miyagi told him to open his eyes and start trimming the tree. Daniel's every move was deliberate and focused. Then he stopped. He asked, "How do I know if my picture is right?" Miyagi replied, "If the picture comes from your heart, then it must be right. Just trust your picture."

Changes in our personal attitudes and behavior are difficult. However, change is possible if we aspire to a vision. Moses didn't think of liberating the Israelite slaves in Egypt until his experience with God and the burning bush. Paul didn't believe in Jesus until he received a vision while on his journey to Damascus. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave himself to the Civil Right Movement because he had a dream of equality.

Prayer: Lord, help us vision our changes, and change to achieve our vision, for the enrichment of our marriages, our health, and our quality of life. Amen.

Luckily, I keep a box on my desk...lol. Allergies, ya know? Rain starts...wind blows...stirs things up! Badly today.

YOU need to be very careful (as you know) when that cold has moved to your chest! I surely do feel for you. Take care of YOU!

Josh Groban first appeared in 2001 on the Ally McBeal show (with Calista Flockhart). The video has been removed from YouTube and most all sites, due to copyright. But, I found a copy of it in Chinese - and here you can hear him sing “You’re Still You” (in English) on his first exposure to the American public:
