It’s Not Easy Being Green
“It’s not easy being green” is actually the thing that immediately jumps into my consciousness when I think of the word GREEN. Kermit The Frog sang that line. One of my fondest childhood memories is playing my Sesame Street album on my box record player. Oh the joys of childhood…But I digress.
In my early teens my father took a painting class. He explained to me the different emotions color invokes. [bctt tweet=”Green conjures feelings of balance, growth, stability, harmony, fertility, renewal and restoration”]. He went on to show me company logos that used green and he pointed out how often green is used in hospitals to promote renewal and healing.
Just think of how much of our planet is covered in green. To me the color speaks LIFE. So when I embarked on a journey over a year ago to create the logo for my personal brand, I KNEW it had to be predominately green.
Inspired Life
Where hearts are inspired to live fully spirit, mind and body, by delightfully obeying God, embracing the now moment and honoring the temple through proper nourishment, rest and exercise.
YES.
GREEN.
You shall live and not die
You shall have the abundant life Jesus promised in John 10:10
You are fully of energy and vitality
You are a tree planted by rivers of living water whose leaf does not wither
You are at peace and in harmony with the universe
You are rooted and grounded in Him
You abide in God and bear much fruit
And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Revelation 22:1-2
While the cares of the world craftily draw our attention away from green and all that in invokes, I encourage you today to embrace that it IS indeed easy being green. We just have to be intentional about being green, seeing green, embracing green.
Connect with your green today.
It is easy being green.
As always, it is my prayer that you’ve been Inspired To Live Fully!
Delighted to connect with others sharing on the word GREEN @ #FiveMinuteFriday
I love your logo and it truly represents everything your father described. I find when I need to recharge, green does it for me. So glad to have come by.
Indeed Maria. Even with the leaves beginning to change here in the mid-Atlantic, I will behold HIS everlasting green in my heart.
Beautiful! I’m blessed to be following you today at FMF! I love all the green in your post. I also appreciate your words describing what green does for us. Lovely blog you have, too. Blessings to you today and this weekend!
Thank you Julie. Praying you embrace an abundance of green today and always. Even when we can’t SEE the green I pray we see with HIS eyes and keep the green before us.
