The simplest expression of life can be experienced on many different levels. Whether something is plain or ordinary is only looking at it from one angle. The energy it takes to smile may not take much but the impact may be great to the person who sees the smile. It does not even have to be the person it is directed toward. God calls us to be the messengers of love and somewhere along the way we got the idea it meant only grand gestures qualified. The power of a plain pause before reacting may not be a grand gesture of love but if it could keep unkind words from being exchanged and a complex negative chain of events from occurring. Think of how many times in our day we can engage in plain thoughts, gestures, and actions of love and create multifaceted waves of love. The possibilities are plainly simple.
My prayer for us is the curiosity to explore as many plain demonstrations of love and initiate potentially elaborate sharing of love’s energy today.
