I awoke this
morning to see the sun coming over the
horizon, and realized that the world constantly shows its glory. That statement rushed through me like a
ice cold wind,
piercing my skin and making me realize where I was, and what I have been doing wrong.
For the last two years I have been living in
Indiana, complaining about the lack of
mountains,
hiking trails, and various other
natural things. Today I finally realized that when I had the mountains with me, I did not really notice them. When I had the hiking trails, I did not hike. Now here I am in Indiana, surrounded by
great beauty and I have yet to notice it. I have the
lakes,
rivers,
trees, and
fields abundant to keep me close company, yet I slam the door on them.
I woke up this morning to find the sun's
splintering
rays illuminating my
soul, and awakening the observative side of me. I realized the beauty around me, and basked in it's wondrous light! I marveled at the lakes, and land thanking
God for it's greatness, then the truth came to me. It is not only the natural things, but the beauty created by others and the beauty within others that I have missed.
Today, I had the best day of my life...I saw great beauty...I ventured into a new world, and saw the beauty in all things! Today the
winds whispered to me that "the world showed you its glory!" May you see it as well.
