There are days when one feels alone. Not knowing for sure if life has been what one has intended it to be. Then, from nowhere, a small breeze begins to blow. Around my feet circles of leaves and bits of sand. For you see, today barefoot I would be.
Alone this day, I stood very still, quiet in a sort of way. Watching this sand drifting back and forth, stopping here and there. Never really staying still in one place long enough to see if this is just where it's chosen to be.
Suddenly, sparkles begin to flicker, within all this sand and leaves. Light weight and free to float, sparkles began to drift in the air, drifting the entire of me.
Never alone, it came to me, sparkles of Heaven had surrounded me. In the midst of me was the dust of God, sprinkling me
with His presence, that assurance that He has always been there with me. Teaching me where ever I go, where ever I am, He's there surrounding me.
Glancing to the ground, it came to me, dust has always been, for you see, dust I came, dust I will go. Picking up a small amount, spilling some through my fingers, sparkles drifting to and fro.
Like the spirit of our Lord, drifting like the sparkles of dust, drifting in the air, watching for the one that It chooses to land upon.
No longer alone, for you see, I realize these sparkles of dust is the Spirit with me.
Do you see your sparkles of Star Dust? The next time the breeze blows, stand still, watch the dust------sparkles from the Heavens will appear.
That shooting star, by the night could be the Sparkling Star Dust in the day.
Stand still and know that He is God-----just a sparkle away.
Inspired and written by the Spirit within me.
