“Challenging the 5 Senses…”
Humans
have a multitude of senses. Sight
(ophthalmoception), hearing
(audioception), taste
(gustaoception), smell
(olfacoception or olfacception), and touch
(tactioception) are the five traditionally recognized.

2014 is a year that we must challenge our senses to be more in sync with God and each other on this journey we call LIFE.
Oprah Winfrey highlights these when she reiterates humans’ need for validation: “Do you see me? Do you hear me? Does what I say matter?
You are only here by the GRACE & MERCY of God. Your
current life is being sustained ONLY because GOD has a purpose for you, and it
aligns with HIS Master Plan. We are instructed to “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these
things shall be added to you.” Matthew
6:33 (NKJV):
We should all heighten our 5 Senses to do the
following:
SEE
the Unseen
Someone smiling, yet the aching in
their eyes.
An elderly person that we pass by
every day.
Things & People as they really are; not how we are.
Things & People as they really are; not how we are.
HEAR
the Unheard
A child’s cry for your attention by
their unacceptable behavior.
A woman saying, “I’m O.K,” but her
eyes say something else.
The pain behind that smile of
someone with arthritis or a health challenge.
TASTE
the untasted
The love and attention given to a
home-cooked meal.
The fresh, robust flavors of organic fruit & vegetables.
The true "thrill of victory and the agony of defeat."
The true "thrill of victory and the agony of defeat."
TOUCH
the untouched
Someone’s heart, who feels unlovable.
Another’s hand, who has not
experienced kindness.
With a smile that may brighten someone's entire day.
With a smile that may brighten someone's entire day.
SMELL
the
unsmelled
The fresh air;
The fresh, cut grass;
The scent in a room.
We are interconnected and interdependent. We need each other, whether we acknowledge it or not. We have
become a very global society.
As we continue to grow and evolve, our elevated senses will prove to be valuable for us professionally, personally, physically, & spiritually. Wake up to the humanity around you. Wake up...Look up...and Be Thankful...
