A Canvas Called Summer

Good Five Minute Friday to you!  I've been linking up with The Gypsy Mama some Friday mornings to write for five minutes flat.  No back tracking.  No over thinking.  Just thoughts.  Ahh, fresh wind in a writer's sail.

This morning we write on Opportunity.

Five minutes set.  Go...

A Canvas Called Summer

A white canvas is set before me.

A blank canvas called Summer.

A quiet canvas full of opportunity.

Two-and-a-half eager months ready to be painted with colors of fun.  Adorned in a mother's love.

But this mommy is just a creative-wannabe ready to plan a memorable summer for her three eager and highly anticipating little boys.

Left to myself, we will be left to repetition and a little boredom. 

I need an intervention with this opportune canvas.  

An artist.  Who is creative.  Innovative.  An full of brilliant color.

I need the Creator.  The Opportunity Maker to take His brush and paint me a picture.  A rough draft full of vision and idea.  A canvas painted with pool and park and play and prayer.

Opportunity is rich in summer.  

Full of discipleship.  Training.  Directing.  Teaching.  Investing.

All masked in the paint of sand and sprinkler pads and drives to the zoo.  Quiet mornings with coffee and creamer, snuggled on the couch with cuddly PJ boys and PBS.

Opportunity awaits.  Summer awaits...

Stop.
