The Beauty Of It All

Sometimes I am just mesmerized by the amazing beauty around me. In nature especially. I deliberately take time each day to just look and watch what surrounds me. As soon as I leave a building or enter the outdoors my head is literally in the clouds. I love the sky in all of it's splendor. It's as if God just took a huge canvass and just paints it every single day with colors so majestic. How can someone not look at nature and NOT believe in God? Or even better, how can anyone look at nature and not THANK God for the gifts He has given us. For US!!



The rainbows, the clouds, the trees, birds, the breezes, the rain, the snow, all of it, just absolutely takes my breath away. An Earth created for us, measly little creatures that we are that with our capacity to reason and understand things we destroy it slowly but surely. It's just sad at times to see the hustle and bustle, the noice and clutter that inhabits this planet. Life surrounds us, engulfs us and is waiting to be discovered yet we enclose ourselves in a small box that we consider to be life.

This is by no means to be a downer, I'm just thinking here. I just sometimes wish people could just stop for a moment and realize the beauty of it all. The gift we have been given to enjoy and to nurture and watch. I thank God for His love and for his gifts. Only a loving God could give us such an amazing planet to live on. And let's not even get into the stars and the universe.....those are truly the most incredible treasures yet!! I just can't wrap my brain around how huge our universe is and how small we really are.....mind blowing.
