Pictures don't really do it justice either but I'm going to give you a little peek at my drive to school this week...
Have you ever wondered if God cared about you? Somehow the fact that He would go to the bother of making trees look this beautiful for a few days in the Fall convinces me that He does.
Does the fact that a tree has beautiful leaves make it a better tree? Does it make the fruit it produces more tasty? Not really.
Why did God bother?
Maybe He was just having fun,
who knows?
Maybe He hoped it would
make us think of Him;
cause us to worship.
Maybe He wanted us to realize
something about Him.
There's something special to me about serving a God who loves beauty.
Maybe He wanted to put an ache
in our hearts for Heaven.
Can you imagine a place that is so much more beautiful than this?
Maybe He just wanted to
brighten our days.
Stop and think about how dull
and hopeless a black and white
world would be!
Whatever the case,
something inside of me aches
at the sheer, glorious beauty of it all.
And I worship
with awe
at the feet of a Father
who creates such beauty
Just Because.

Had you been following me this afternoon on winding
little ol Pennyroyal Road,
you might have wondered what ailed the crazy lady in the blue van who kept stopping in the middle of the road and sticking her phone out her van window every couple hundred yards.......

Lovely pics... thanks for drawing my attention to our heavenly Father.
I love this! Especially the statement, "Maybe He was just having fun!" I've been training myself to be more mindful of seeing God's expressions of love in simple matters, in funny moments, and so on.
I think we get so caught up in the grandeur of God (which He is) that we forget that He loves humor. He smiles.
