Storms & Rainbows

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” ~ Genesis 1:1

“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.” ~ Psalm 19:1

“This is what God the Lord says - he who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it, who gives breath to itspeoplee, and life to those who walk on it.".” ~ Isaiah 42:5

“By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.” ~ Hebrews 11:3

"Can you raise your voice to the clouds and cover yourself with a flood of water? Do you send the lightning bolts on their way? Do they report to you, "Here we are"? Who endowed the heart with wisdom or gave understanding to the mind? Who has the wisdom to count the clouds? Who can tip over the water jars of the heavens when the dust becomes hard and the clods of the earth stick together? ~ Job 38:34-38

Life is short. Enjoy every moment. Think about what's truly important! We need to work to earn a living, but do we need to do so at the expense of seeing our kids grow up? Is rushing around to run errands or taxi the kids to extracurricular activities more important than sitting down to dinner at home as a family? Is the big house as important as the people who live in it? Is what's on TV tonight more important to you than getting to know what's in your spouse's heart and mind? Is what's happening on your phone more important than what's going on around you - in real life? Take the time to talk with an old friend, read a book with your child, eat dinner with your family, watch the sun set, go fishing, play frisbee, swing, look for rainbows, dance in the rain, splash in a creek, cartwheel through the fields...breathe fresh air, laugh out loud, dance like no one is watching. Stop being so busy and start looking for life's little miracles in the ordinary. Our lives are ordinary and yet magical! Live it to the fullest, enjoy the moments of ordinary. We are not promised tomorrow or even later today. 

Cheers, Ramsey
