This is NOT an advertisement. It IS a metaphor. Just enjoy it…,don’t take it too seriously! (Remember, Jesus spoke in terms of his own times.) Add your own insights! !!
Everything you will ever need for living is there! Ok, maybe that’s a bit of exaggeration, and I’m not advertising for it, but this is a pretty perfect metaphor for Life!
Think of all that is available! And it’s most exciting when you choose to walk in and experience all that’s available to you!
You may not even know what you need, or what you are looking for till you get there, but you’ll find it’s already been provided for you! You don’t have to make it, or create it, – it’s just like you, everything about you is already complete in every detail! You just get the joy of to discovering what’s there.
When you make a list of Life in its abundance, you realize it is eternal, without limits; it includes green grass and flowering plants!! Life includes beauty! Life is order! Life is provided by one overarching all- inclusive abundantly good idea, yet individually expressed. Life has movable partitions to allow for expansion of new ideas!
Life gets more interesting as you walk the aisles, taking in everything that has been provided in a beautifully ordered way. And there is always infinite guidance everywhere, called divine Principle, Love, – present to work all the parts, and provide the guide as to how things fit together.
Well, that’s a super example of Life! It is orderly, everything in its right and perfect place. You use it and have it wherever you go! Share it, expectantly watch how things work; watch the lights come on that eliminate the darkness; gain an understanding of the appropriate plumbing supplies; and surround yourself with the colors you love, painting them on your walls of your consciousness.
You can find all the little nuts and bolts you didn’t even know you needed or wanted. But they exist right where they need to be. Right now everything you require is present! Every detail provided with care, thoughtfulness, consideration. Sounds like all good right in one place right where you need it!
Life is just so! And the effect is a wonderful sense of provision, and protection, with glue sticks for all the little details.
A hymn in our hymnal begins, “Home is the consciousness of good.” This consciousness of good is the focus of our Home Improvement Center. Abundance of good recognized and expressed as Life in our consciousness will improve everything in our worlds.
There is a price for all this, – it is the price of paying attention and getting to know what’s in the store, down to smallest details, and that you are to use what Love has been providing forever as you. That’s living Life!
So Life is like Home Depot! Nothing exists in that store, -atmosphere of thought,- that was not first an idea. Then these ideas found expression in a million different ways, all with a purpose to benefit and bless. Then the individual puts these ideas to use as his daily life, seeing and loving the possibilities for the world, from the tiniest repair project to building a whole vibrant community of Life- lovers!!
It’s the price of using all this good to paint and decorate a world, a world of ideas filled with generosity towards others, light, and so much love,
That’s enthusiasm! That’s joy and good! That’s Life! Like Home Depot!
