My wind chime has gone silent, but only for a short period of time having been over-run by this clematis. A collaborative effort between the two that makes something beautiful. In a few weeks the chime will be making beautiful harmonious sounds once again in another collaborative effort with something else. The wind. This makes me think of something from The Shack in regards to how Jesus wants to be the center of our lives and not set up on some priority scale which is a set up for failure from the beginning. I love how Paul expresses this.
"Jesus now spoke up again. "Mack, I don't want to be first among a list of values; I want to be the center of everything. When I live in you, then together we can live through everything that happens to you. Rather than a pyramid, I want to be the center of a mobile, where everything in your life---your friends, family, occupation, thoughts, activities---is connected to me but moves with the wind, in and out and back and forth, in an incredible dance of being."

What a precious quote Kent!
It has really touched something deep inside... It's hard to forget Father when he is in the midst of everything one does, says, and is! I want to remember this forever!
In Freedom, Nicole!
Yes Nicole it is much better than attempting to put him first and never being able to give enough and in the process everthing else suffering. Everything and everbody suffers in that set up.
