After publishing my first book I took a couple weeks off
writing and went to the Mountains of Tennessee for a vacation and my daughter’s
wedding. While I was there I got to see the glory and spender of God’s
creations. I saw wondrous Mountain views, waterfalls, rivers of clear water,
and the peace of a deer grazing along the road. This all could not compare to
God’s greatest creation, Love. I got to see the love in my daughter’s eyes as
she walked down the aisle to her new husband. We go through every day with the beauty and
splendor of God all around us but we don’t always stop to notice it. We often walk through life doing the same
things over and over again not noticing the things around us. We get up Sunday morning,
get dressed and go out the door to church.
We sit in the same seat, talk to the same people and sing along to the
songs, and pray the same prayer. It’s all meaningless unless we open our eyes
and our heart. See the beauty of the Holy Spirit moving in the singers, the
pastor, the ushers and the door greeter. We have to let the Holy Spirit move in us
through our actions and our words.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 (ESV)
11 He has made everything
beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that
he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.
