Look Around

Have you ever just stopped and thought about all the intricacies of God's creation? Just look around. It's everywhere. How many times do we do the same thing, the same routine every day and not even acknowledge the greatness of God.

I was driving home this afternoon and something caught my eye. I turned my head and looked out the window and noticed how absolutely beautiful the sun coming through the clouds was. Then I couldn't help notice that the whole sky was full of these puffy, billowy, white clouds with the sun surrounding them. Mind you, I was driving so I couldn't really concentrate on these clouds, but what struck me was how magnificent God's creation is. I began to thank God for all of the wonderful things that he has given us. Now, we can't touch these clouds and they don't directly provide anything for us, but how many things does God create that is truly only for us to look at and enjoy? We have got to quit taking all of these things for granted and begin to be aware of everything around us that God has made for us. Sometimes it's nice to just be able to look around and take it all in. I would encourage you all to take a minute and look around you. Take the time to notice what God has made just for us and be mindful of how great He is. We are truly blessed.
