Look Around... Pause and thank God for his creation... at Friday, January 02, 2009

I have been doing a lot of reflecting this year. I can't remember ever just looking around and being amazed at what I see. Everyday we wake up and go through a routine, but everyday that we wake up it's a miracle because everything is working in our bodies. Our heart is still beating, blood is flowing through our veins our lungs are inflating. It's a miracle that keeps happening.

I have been preparing a message on creation this week in church, and I look around and I can't believe what I see trees, grass, sun, moon and stars. 

I remember when I was growing up I would sit in the front yard and watch the clouds go by and try to figure out what kind of shapes they are. I remember seeing a dog or a cat I was amazed at all of the different clouds that went by.

I took my son on a walk today and I was just praising God for all of his creations, and my son was amazed shouted out words like WOW, WHOA, LOOK... He was amazed at all of the things that we walked by. We walked by a cactus and he wanted to know what it was. 

We need to get back to thinking like a child and being amazed with everything that we see that God has created.

John 1:3

Everything was created through him; 

nothing-not one thing!-

came into being without him.

The word tells us who created it so lets take the time to celebrate everything that God has created for us to enjoy.
