River to Ocean

My Tuesday Posts are becoming more philosophical. My Friday posts tend to be more practical. I hope you enjoy that I am trying to mix them up. 


Today’s post is from a sermon I heard that I found very reflective. It was about how life is like a molecule of water river flowing toward the ocean.



Most of the time it is moving rapidly down the center, but occasionally it can get caught in an eddy and stay in one spot for a while. It does not realize that every time it passes something it can never go back to that spot.


It is sort of like life, we pass our days being busy with our family or seeking fame, and fortune. Each minute that passes us by we cannot reclaim or go back to capture that moment.


The only record of us having passed that point is that someone has written down what we have done, or we have written it down. Like a molecule of water in a river, it will flow till it reaches the ocean and then the river ceases to exist and becomes one with it.


How does this apply to us, you ask? If you watered plants along the way on the banks, they would be overflowing with vegetation and the earth would be blooming.

If you are helping others as you move through your days on earth, it would be a great place for those around you. They would blossom with the things you teach, show and share.


Who knows, you might even be remembered in songs sung or stories told about how you made the earth a better place for those around you. Like that molecule of water, you may not feel like you have great things to share but that kind word. Time spent with a child is like that drop of water, it is could be all that was needed to make that plant bloom.


Are you in the returning phase of life, do you wonder what you can give to help those who follow you? Do you wonder what you could do to make your life significant to someone else?


If you have struggled with these questions and issues then Patterson2Y2R should be a place you should visit. Share your stories and challenges. I have an ear that would love to hear your stories. Let’s taste the real meaning of life.


I am still working on my course with a goal of launching a starter course by June 30th, and I will keep you abreast as to how the process goes. If you want to participate in this process and join my first class please send me an email to www.bobchuckpatterson@yahoo.com
