"Kaleidoscope"



        When I was a child, I used to play with a Kaleidoscope.

Whenever you twisted the tube, the picture would change. At no time

was that picture the same as the previous one.



        We look at our world thorugh the Kaleidoscope of our

experiences and attitudes. If we find ourselves in a crisis, then our

world will appear to be dark, gloomy and even frightful. However, if

we are experiencing good and positive feelings, how we see the world

suddenly changes to bright, positive and exciting.



        What we want to do is look at the world throguh the

Kaleidoscope of God. He puts everything into perspective and He helps

us see things as He sees them. One thing He does is help us look

beyond the moment. When you look past your momentary crisis, you will

see the world completely different thatn you have in the past.



        Let God color your world, not your experiences or your

attitude, and you will find that life is fun and exciting!
