Join me today for 5 Minute Friday with The Gypsy Mama where we write for five minutes on a given topic. No editing. No criticism. No worry. Today’s topic is: Wholeness
There are so many places we go in our quest for wholeness.
In our homes we look around and say, “No, not here. Only if I had something bigger. Grander. Something that would turn heads and create awe.”
So we leave that place that was supposed to be a safe-haven of peace and go on our journey to find wholeness elsewhere.
We stop at the place that pays us money. Money to get the things our house lacks. But in the back of our minds we think to ourselves, “No, this can’t be it. Does this really matter? Is this really making a difference? Will this last?”
So on we go to the next thing along the road. The road’s getting long now, and the hills are getting high. Maybe this is where it is. Maybe this object, substance, person, mindset is where my wholeness will be found. Except that they are really idols. And no, I know, only temporarily will I find wholeness here.
So back I go to my original place and in that house that isn’t quite right I bend my knees until they touch the ground. I cry out, cry out begging for something that will last, that will never change or go away.
And there it is: Wholeness – wrapped around the words to my Savior.
