"Drive! Drive!" she says.
So at mothers request we drive. This mother is a special one to me. She is like no other. She is the mother of our children. Being her birthday, we aimed to please my wife's beckoned call.
Mind you our family is like any other. It doesn't always function well together. We are loud when one or two member like it soft. We are on edge, when another is filled with joy.Yep! Our rhythms don't always fit each others melodies, especially in cramp t corridors. And yet I sit here in the wonders of Gods' Creation.
Once in drive, majestic trees pass by like a picket
fence. Rocks and boulders in the stream below reflect the sun above.
Whitewater boils and rushes down. Down? Why be down when we sit in
the majesty of Gods' Creation? Frankly I'm not! I love where I am. I
love who I am with and most of all I love the one who Created both
this landscape and my family. Blink and you'll miss it. You will miss the wonder of life.
So why blink?
"Look here, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and will stay there a year. We will do business there and make a profit.” How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone." James 4:13-14 NLT
That's one of my favorite scriptures, and so true.
ReplyDeleteThis verse is one of my favorites too. It's easy to forget this fact, when one hour of drudgery seems like an eternity. Still in grand scheme of things, before we know it we are old and then gone.
ReplyDeleteWhile we are here we can make our part of the world a better place by sharing Jesus and His love.
