Tuesday's Random Thoughts

It's been another one of those *thoughtful* days that have me jumping from one random thought to the next - this time, though, they're laced with happiness and sunshine to match the GORGEOUS day! The weather is perfect, the sun is shining, and the sky is a beautiful baby blue complete with big puffy white clouds I like to call "mashed potato clouds". Speaking of which, I've always wanted to get a life-sized spoon, pour some butter over them and just dig right in. It's even more tempting when I'm flying somewhere during the day. The clouds are much bigger and seem to be at arm's length. Sometimes there's a blanket of clouds in the purest shade of white right below the plane, and in that case, I like to imagine myself falling into it, as if it would hold me there. Being up there, surrounded by the beautiful clouds and deep blue sky, makes me feel closer to God. A lot of times, I'll just stare out of the tiny little window in awe, taking in God's wonderful creation. I can't help but think "WOW, what a wonderful world created by an awesome God, and I know Him! I know my Creator, and He made all of this just for me in hopes that I would reciprocate that love and choose to make Him the center of my world". Sometimes we forget to thank Him for the little things - er, big things (the big blue sky, the puffy white clouds, the flowers that tell us which season is coming next, the night sky sprinkled with tiny twinkling lights and a big night light whose bulb will never burn out - These are the little things that we oftentimes forget to thank Him for. Take a few minutes out of your day to give God thanks for the many things He has done for you and for everyone!

Psalm 92:1-4

1.It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD,

and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:

2.To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning,

and thy faithfulness every night,

3.Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery;

upon the harp with a solemn sound.

4.For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy work:

I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
