To share The Gypsy Mama's words, "On Fridays around these parts we like to write. Not for comments or traffic or anyone else’s agenda. But for pure love of the written word. For joy at the sound of syllables, sentences and paragraphs all strung together by the voice of the speaker.Today's prompt is FULL.
We love to just write without worrying if it’s just right or not. For five minutes flat."
GO.
Full of Love.
Full of Grace.
Full of the Holy Spirit.
Those three phrase are poetically beautiful are they not? And adding our life experiences they become living poetry.
That is what FIRST comes to mind when I hear, "FULL". (besides being full of the the salty ham & bean soup, chicken salad with veggies, and chocolate with peanut butter icing that I enjoyed last night out with the LOV ladies! I was full then!)
But as I contemplate a few seconds this also speaks back to me, "What does it take for your soul to be full?"
Ask yourself that.
Not waxing too spiritual about it. Think of your whole being....what makes your body have pleasure? your mind have satisfaciton? your heart burst with joy? what makes your spirit soar?
My body.
-a bright colorful ice slushy on a 100 degree day
- a Chinese massage (I was going to say a massage fro the Chinese man with big hands- read for that post here but I have experienced one from some Chinese ladies as well who are just as talented yet not quite as strong.)
My mind.
-reading a book that sparks my imagination or feeds my intellect or tickles my fancy for words (thinking about "Pride and Prejudice" when I wrote the last comment, what a way with words!!!! Is that how they spoke 200 hundred years ago! Oh how our language has been dumbed down!)
-studying scripture really satisfies my brain/heart fancy, looking into the definitions in the Hebrew and Greek, the nuances of the meaning, the practical and spiritual application
My heart.
-seeing my children walking in truth
-having us all hang out in the kitchen while I am preparing dinner sharing jokes and teasings
My spirit.
-meditating on His Majesty
-trying to comprehend His Love, tasting of it and letting it fill me from my toes up.
Wow. I have so much to be FULL with, I love it! How about you? Share some of your full fillings with me; I would love to hear.

I had gotten away from reading after having newborn after newborn after newborn, but I've started again. Oh, how I missed reading a good book! It does wonders for my mind!
I enjoyed your post!
I must say diving between the pages of a good book or the Good Book makes me fill full too. Or simply beholding the beauty of universe the Master has created fills my eyes with pleasure and my mind with wonder.
BEAUTIFUL!
