Out shopping today in the sludge and mush of a wet snow with ice, the bottom of my pants are soaked even though I wore boots. As I was sludging through a mucky dirty parking lot I could swear I heard God say "look up". It would be soooo easy to only see the muck on this day. But I did look up. The trees are covered in ice and they are sparkling in the sunlight and about the most beautiful thing you can see on a cold wintery day.
Where your eyes rest matter. Where your thoughts turn to matter. Finding beauty in muck matters. So easy to get preoccupied with working your way through the muck and missing the beauty that is all around if you'd only lift up your eyes.
Isaiah 40:26
Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.
that's some old school KJV. a little thee thou to get you going ;)
So Much to Love
Always On My Mind

Well said Jamie, thanks! Wishing you & yours a blessed and merry Christmas!
How appropriate for how things have gone today for me. I remembered it today while I waited to find out if my flight was going to be a go or no go. Thanks!
