A Little Bit of Heaven on Earth

So you know those times that you see something that is so astoundingly beautiful that it just takes your breath away. All that you can do is to sit in awe and amazement. The whole world may be crashing around you but you only have eyes for that thing that has completely enveloped your thoughts and attention. God blesses us daily with these little doses of his beauty, sometimes we just need to slow down and take advantage of these blessings. Sometimes it comes like a slap in the face, you look up from what you are doing and just fall back in amazement and all you want to do is to share that amazement with everyone around you. Today while at work I was reminded again of the beauty of God’s creation. I was stationed at the top of the slide and just sitting in awe looking at the beauty and majesty and glory of the heavens. Each and every cloud was immaculately placed in the sky each tendril carefully painted against the backdrop of deep blue. It made me think, “Wow who am I to deserve this, my God is so amazing, I am so blessed.” It was like a little glimpse of heaven on earth. And the sunset, oh the sunset. The rays of sun stretched towards the sky simply begging to be adored and noticed. The pastel sky was contrasted by the black clouds and the brilliance of the red sun. You could tell that a storm was coming, but didn’t care because it was all so gorgeous. I wished that it would never end, that the sun and the clouds would just stop, that the whole world would stand still and revel in the glory of God’s majesty in that moment forever. I will never forget the beauty of it all. We are truly blessed!
