Galations 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."

I walk a path under a glistening gold
My feet tread upon shining emeralds
Beside a sea of cerulean saphhires
I intake the minty freshness of the air
I walk in peace, no fret or care.
I pick a ruby ball from a ball of foliage
Fill my mouth with juices
Exploding in flavors of liquid cheer
A breath out and a smile cracks through my rigid face
As I realize the common things are the most precious.

God has blessed us with so much and we can see this in the most common things. Everything that we see is precious.
