now that we're all on the same page....

"Now that we're all on the same page..."

A phrase commonly used in resolved arguments and confusing conversations. It is used when whoever is talking is now understanding the same thing, therefore they are all on the same "page". Yet a good point has been brought to my attention when I myself used that very phrase: we may both be on the same page, but maybe not the same book. We may all be on the same page but each and everyones' life is a different book.

Everyone sees things differently. And it may be that just because "we are both on page 72" it does not mean that we are looking in the same book. Some people's Life Book's are very small, maybe even Flimsy; yet there are the small Hand-backed books too. Other's are huge, fat books with quite a lot of stuff in it; of course there are, not so seldom, the big books with mainly Fluff and very few real things in them. Some people's books are the same their entire lives, while others may find the Need to Edit theirs on a "regular" basis.

Now of course it is not a bad thing if your Book is big or small; what matters is what you have in it. What is in your book? Morals? Life Lessons? Tips? Memories?

Everyone's book is completely, totally, and wonderfully unique. And that, my dear friend, is how GOD intended it to be. He was, and is, the One who wrote, and is helping us to write, out Books. And because GOD made each and everyone one of use different and unique in our own way, all of our books will and are very different.

So even if we are all on page 13 of our Life Books, we all see the very same situation a bit differently from the next person would.

Just as GOD intended.

So God created man in his own image,

in the image of God he created him;

male and female he created them.

God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."

Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food." And it was so.

God saw all that he had made, and it was very good
