I went down to our neighborhood creek with the boys the other day after school. While they fished with their friend from school, I wandered around and admired the diversity of all the yellow fall flowers in bloom. At first glance, they just look like a bunch of yellow flowers. But if you take the time to look a little deeper, more closely, you can see the beauty of their uniqueness.
As I sat and watched my two boys stand together with their friend and fish, I was reminded by these flowers that the same is true for us as we live in community with one another. If we take a moment to look deeper, more closely, into the heart of those around us, we will also see the beauty of the uniqueness of each life.
The lessons provided by Mother Nature never cease to amaze me and guide me. I hope you will find a moment today to get outdoors alone or with those you love and look deeper. Allow creation to reveal her knowledge and truth, and guide you along your unique journey.
