My theater

My brother and his wife went to a theater production.  We sat in the third row from the from the stage and right in the middle.  We could see everything that was happening on stage.  I looked at the lights and the red curtain in front of me.  It all looked show grant.  I love theaters.  There is always something happening whether it’s behind the stage, center stage or in the audience.  Excitement is all around.  Many people say that life is like a theater and we all are the main actor in our own production that is our lives.  I have no problem with this thought.  So I imagine my life on stage with all the bright lights, beautiful décor, colorful and dramatic costumes. 

The feeling of contempt came up in my spirit.  I’m happy being me!  I learned to take my disadvantages and change them around and make it work for the good of me.  I felt that the world could ask me anything they want to know as if I’m a open book.  I felt that the people watching enjoyed life just as much as I do!  Everything is in place because I know that my God fill in all the blanks.  He has my life is under control.  He directs me to where and when I should be.

So, lift the curtain!  Let the lights shine!  Give my voice volume!
I’m ready to tell!
