The labyrinth at Hunter Park (located at 5804 E 91st St, Tulsa, OK) was my third and final labyrinth walk of the day (December 5, 2021). It was early afternoon (around 1:30 pm) when we stopped at Hunter Park to walk the labyrinth and check out some of the park’s other amenities.
I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the park and all the amenities it provided. In addition to the their awesome labyrinth, they have sizable playgrounds, a huge picnic pavilion with tables, a frisbee/disc golf course, a basketball course, a dog park, a creek and a pond. It’s 71 acres of fun!
Mikayla, who is something of a fitness freak, convinced us that we should use some of the outdoor exercise equipment. It was surprisingly fun to play on the various pieces of exercise equipment. And it was hysterical watching Mikayla try to do a pull-up!
They dedicated a large open space to the labyrinth, and it was a Chartres style pattern.
Your work is not done here until you’ve impacted others in the way God has called you to.
No matter how much we know, we can never really see the whole picture or have a full understanding of our role in the world.
Like a ripple in the water or a breeze in the air, our impact is more far-reaching than we could ever imagine.
Remember that your possibilities are limitless.
Do not doubt the great potential within you.
Know that you were created to change the world and be a force for good.
It’s okay to stray off the path a little bit, as long as you get back on track.
Life, as shown in the many amusing memes we see online, doesn’t generally follow the plan we outline.
And sometimes, we derail ourselves with poor decisions, rash actions or common mistakes. That’s ok.
Just get back on track, ‘reset’ yourself, and continue forward. Even if you only move 1% in the direction you intended, you are getting there and going the right direction. Persevere!
Your impatience will only drag out the waiting, not speed it up.
If patience is a lesson to be learned, this doesn’t bode well for me. It’s vaguely reminiscent of the old adage about praying for patience and being given opportunities to practice patience. Ugh. No thank you!
Or the saying “A watched pot never boils”.
Whatever the analogy, the message remains unchanged: Whether you wait patiently or wait impatiently, there will be waiting.
How you choose to wait doesn’t change the fact that waiting is a part of life.
(Attitude is everything?)
