Something for you from my Heart
Oh that thought of Mine before I begin
Sometimes my thoughts are like a flower, but fades before I begin
Sometimes it buds like a flower and fades before I begin
Sometimes it leans the other way and fades before I begin
Sometimes my posture fades before I begin
Sometimes the radiate of little hopes, helps me to begin
It comes from my heart and comes from yours, So I can begin…. By Alex
A Making of the Pearl
Your Just Hiding inside that Oyster
Come on out and le's see you glow
Let me tell you the Story of Pearls. Before the cultured pearls, only natural pearls were around. The value of them were so large everyone couldn’t afford them, only the rich. The story of Cleopatra telling Marc Anthony was that she dissolved a natural pearl in a goblet of wine and drank it and said she had spent an elaborate amount of money on the dinner, wow nothing more to say.
Natural pearls were so rare and divers had to go 65 feet in the dept of the sea to find them.
About the 13th century “blister pearls” were cultivated in freshwater farms, by the Chinese. The blister pearls still weren’t the best quality and natural pearls still were bought by the Privileged, but around 1902 the harvest of small round cultured pearls were produced. While experimenting with different oysters in the Sea a method developed in 1916, this lead to affordable cultured pearls eliminating the treacherous tasks of divers.
BUT DID YOU KNOW
Did you know that there are many different shapes and colors of Pearls. Like a Pearl you are different in every way. It’s because we are formed by the environment. First, we were formed in our Mother’s womb, then came the people around us. The people feed us what they wanted us to know. If they didn’t want us to know they didn’t tell us. So at an early age our shape was defined by them. Which could be good or could
it been a bad thing? Could they have left something out? Let’s wear our pearls the way we should be wearing them. Let’s journey together along with the help of Heaven.
Work With Me
In Matthew 7:6 : ” Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to piece”.
Matthew: 13:45: ” Again , the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls”.
Again: Matthew 13:46: “Who on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it”.
Just like the development of Pearls your life is.
Your life is precious and if you allow to be cultivated and formed through living words you can be created in a new image. Just like Matthew says in scripture heaven is searching for fine pearls and don’t let anyone trample on you and tear you to pieces. So in other words, don’t give yourself to someone who doesn’t cherish you, or respect you. Don’t let them define you. Your precious in God’s Kingdom.
You may be wondering what does have to do with Pearls?
You may not know this, but you can be the one pearl that needs to be set perfect on a strand. Just like a pearl we need polishing, so we can see its true color. It maybe that your so covered over by dirt that was splatter on you or you took on yourself. Now its all clammy and dusty so you don’t see much of its beauty. Underneath that, there is a you, the Pearl of you. Lets begin by working from the inside out. When you were a child, its hard to believe, but think about it. Go were you felt safe and the sun shined on you from behind. You were sifting thru the sand, maybe at a beach looking for something, it was so important you had no worries , you were there for the moment. No rushing no fears, calm, quite, happy, interested and focused. Now lets put the dirt and grime and clammy stuff in that hole you made in the sand and leave it. Soon the ocean will cover it and take it into the sea where it belongs. Now pick up that moment and walk off along the beach.
