Looking at Life From Above

How do we look at our life?  Do we look at it in snippets of time, individual moments or separate events?  Like a look book we flip through the pages, viewing all things separate….choosing only what is most beautiful or only what will fill our needs best.

But if we really look, if we see things as God sees them, we would find one big story.  One big love story he is writing in our lives.  But we have to look bigger.  We have to scoot back from the table, rise high into the sky and look at our life from a bird’s eye view.

Then and only then can we really see the small moments, the individual pictures of joy.  Baby feet and toes, a child’s first bite of a pickle, my daughter reading words for the very first time.  These are all the small moments of joy that can only be seen if we look higher, look longer and look broader.

Maybe we have to look wider to see what is right in front of us.

Lord Give me eyes to see you today.
