Looking UP!

Deuteronomy 4:29
But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you LOOK for him with all your heart and all your soul.

I sometimes feel like a cloud follows me around. That is how last week was for me. Just as I was tackling one challenge another presented itself. I had such a hard time shaking the darkness...

And then one day you wake up and things start looking up. Finally, one day you see the positive; all that is good, and all that can be. I was thinking about this on Saturday. It seemed like the dark cloud was starting to lift.

In honor of it I decided that I needed to look up. So I spent the weekend forcing my eyesight from its usual view to looking up...and I couldn’t believe what I have been missing.

I saw beautiful windows
And weather vanes
And lamp posts glistening with early sunlight
And crosses

And snow-capped mountains
And clouds
And pinecones on trees
And flags
And airplanes with jet streams
And leaves

And trees growing out of rocks
And stars
And....LIGHT....

It became apparent that there is no surprise to LOOK UP and then see things LOOKING UP.
It is all in the perspective.

Psalm 34:5
Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.
