Stop, look, See

         We are about to enter the beautiful season of autumn. It is the season of color and fresh air  and you don't have to look far to see the hand of God's creation in fullness. It is also the season of busyness when school or work can go fully speed ahead and we never enjoy the beauty that is all  around us.  When the leaves are at there colorfulness we can see them, but to stop and pause our busy schedule is to really see them and grasp there splendor. To pick up a fallen leave and to look at it's coloring is to see a masterpiece, but to really see is to study it structure ,color combination and blends. It is to see as the artist sees -right brain looking. This leave tells us God is at work creating, beautifying his world.

          God works within, his coloring comes from the tree, the sun, and the chemistry that goes into to turning green to golden. God works within us too. His wish is for all his creation to be beautiful.  As we grow and allow God to be part of our inner growth we come to fullness of life. We accomplish many things, see children become adults, see changes in the world and enjoy the pleasure of God's creation.  As he looks upon us he see our colorfulness and rejoices or he see our muted hues of a life apart from him and is sad. God made us so he could be in our lives we do not profit by casting him out. The greatest seeing we can do in life is to see God as our creator and to allow him to fashion us with his love into people of goodness, rightness and truth. That might sound like a strange statement but if we stop our busyness and look at life we discover it is true God blesses us, seeing God working in our life is a wonderous thing.When we look at life through God's len we behold a peace and a feeling of joy that makes us feel beautiful.  Now is to time to stop , look, and see .
