We could also put it in a smaller scale and say, Have you ever noticed how our seasons in life reflect fireworks? It seems like such a big deal at the time, and the it's gone. Vanished. Never to have the opportunity again.
In a way I could relate it to my life right now. I feel that my school has overwhelmed me . . . overshadowed my life . . . bogged me down. Then I realize that what I feel right now is only for a season. No need to complain about it. It's not going to last forever! I should strive to do my best in what God has in front of me right now, all the while praising Him for everything He is doing in my life. Hmmm...that looks easier to write than it is to do . . . :)
"And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." Galations 6:9
"Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:" 1 Peter 1:6
Last week, a few members of my family and I went to Colorado for vacation! (A break from the currently overwhelming school. hehe) We could not have been there at a more perfect time!! The scenery was absolutely breath-taking! God is so amazing and colorful with His creation! ;) The aspen trees were just peaking a fantastic golden yellow - along with a few oranges and reds in the mix. The dark green fir trees made a beautiful backdrop for these stunning aspens.
The thing that really struck me, though, was the brillantly colored wildflowers that occassionaly popped up along the sides of the trail!
Of course, I'll be cliche and say "the pictures don't do it justice at all!" :) But what camera can do God's wondrous creation any justice? Lenses just don't catch the splender of the little things and the glory of the enormous things in one snapshot. God created the human eye to have the ability to view His creation in a way a camera never can. He is wonderful!
