Golden Moments...

Have you ever had a moment where you just stop and look up at the sky.

You know, one of those crystal clear moments you have where you realize the beauty in all that surrounds you.

The clouds passing lazily, as the sun shines intermittently on your face. Making you appreciate being alive all the more.

Your heart filled with thankfulness to God,

Those moments are the best.

I had one such moment today,as I was walking to the classroom in which I work.

Part of the walk took me outside and I found it...

the beauty in the day,

the gorgeous canvas that makes the sky, and the work of art that it is.

Put up like a dome above the earth,better than any movie screen or portrait could tell.

The story of Life in everything before you.

Those moments...

We seem to have so few them,always passing by busy with our daily lives. Heads tucked down forgetting to look up from what were doing and just appreciate the beauty in Gods ever unfolding masterpiece.

Were all apart of His work of art,its true, but sometimes we get so focused on our part that we forget that its all bigger then us.

It seems we often forget to appreciate the other things He has made.

Everything around is a work of art too, some things in progress and some seemingly (although not) already finished like the beauty in a day or the scene from a mountain top.

Everything is in a constant state of shaping and of change. Even the earth itself,oh but what a beautiful work of Art.

The people we meet the places we see they are all gifts given,and while they are all apart of shaping and making who we are for Christ.

They are also in themselves a work of art.

and that is something to never lose sight of,

Because we can always look at ourselves,but we wont always have the opportunity to appreciate the beauty of the days gone by,we cant reverse the effects of time or go back to relive our favorite or most defining moments.

and isn't it funny,

we don't see the golden moments till were looking back at them.

but if you keep your eyes open,your ears tuned in to His voice,you may just catch a glimpse of the Gold in a moment before its gone.

Capture the treasure while its still in front of you...

and I don't know about you,but I want to live every moment, just like that...

Golden and Beautiful.

(Psalms 103:15)

As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
