Word of the Year for 2017: FOCUS


But the question then is--- what am I to FOCUS on, what is the FOCUS I am directed to in coming year? I have prayed and meditated, sought conscious contact with my Higher Power, my God & Savior. And JUST as the year turned from old to new:


Last night I slept very well and had several dreams. One I do remember, vividly. The Lord was there and He was showing me All About Flowers. All kinds of flowers, names, zones, climates, terrains, nicknames, meanings, x-rays & physical aspects I have no sensory means of perceiving with. It was amazing and it was beautiful and it was beyond words. And then.... at one point.... it occurred to me that the topic of gardening might be coming up and so I said to the Lord "I have no dirt".... meaning I cannot garden. Everything stopped. HE stopped, For awhile. I could not tell His mood, so to speak. And then.... He laughed! Heartily. About me telling him I had no dirt. Evidently. And then I saw all kinds of things.... drawing, painting, photography, collecting pictures, collecting & flattening flowers, learning Latin names, learning symbolic meanings, sewing, crocheting, WHATEVER......

And so, strange as it may seem, I believe the FOCUS for the upcoming time however long that may be is FLOWERS.
