Recently, the beautiful sunshine has been scaring the rain and clouds away, and today again, was a clear day. But, as I was reading Golden Goblet, Mom began to fall asleep. So we decided that a good walk would wake us(or maybe just her) up.
David had a hard time keeping his eyes open in the bright sun, but he succeeded!
Sometimes I gaze at God’s amazing creation and wonder how we can ever stop smiling. All around us is such amazing intricate design by the one and only God. But then I remember the trouble, the hardship, the chaos, and the sin in this life. And just like the israelites in Exodus I think of how we forget the blessings and signs that God shows us and all we see is how our life should be better and how God isn’t giving us enough. I just wonder how we can be so selfish when he shows us all this creation.
Just this little cherry blossom tree is a small part of God and his creation he has given us.
How can we be so ungrateful, frown, and cry when he has given us so much? How can we, just like the Israelites, forget the huge blessings and only see hardship? God has given us family, friends, his word, this beautiful creation, and everything we could ever want. But in our eyes we just see sin. God sees beauty through the ugliness, love through the hatred, and us as valuable people when we are really worthless sinners.

Love your thoughts Sarah – this was a beautifully written post. Hope to hear more from you in the future. BTW isn’t it ODD to have so much sun when the news shows snow, snow, snow?
I know I was very thankful for today’s sunshine and warmth! You’re quite right in your perspective, and wise to remind us all of the great truth of God’s goodness and beautiful creation!
