Psalm 100:1-5 NIV
Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his ;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
Acknowledge The Simple Things Nature Gave Us
Have you ever experienced that you were so busy, so occupied with lots of things that bothered your heart and mind, felt there would be no end of your work, etc etc, and those things made your heart felt weary and tired?
And then you took a walk and thinking about lots of things, and from the corner of your eyes, you suddenly stood startled, and see beautiful evening closing in. And you just stood in awe, rejoicing the beautiful sunset, and be refreshed.
I had. I often found myself walked fast, ready to do other things after work. And suddenly I just stopped, looked up, and stared at wonderful colors of the sky. And I wondered how many of us that no longer care of even bothered to enjoy nature, even for few seconds and be grateful for the lovely sight?
I think God is really creative, and really really really care about our well-being. Stressed mind needs a release. If you released it toward another things that required you to think, actually you just added up another burden. Some of us might use movies and cinemas as a stress reliever, or maybe dine out. And they all not free. In order to provide money to pay for those stress-reliever, you need to work, and those are... stressful.
And nature provides a calming aura for... free.
And it's human that ignored it and started to destroy nature slowly... and steadily.
And God provides the sky, where us as a city dweller that has no more jungle and forest to enjoy, can actually enjoy anytime after the work. If you noticed, all beautiful scenery of sky mostly in evening, a perfect time after you've done today's job.
And I think, if you no longer can enjoy simple scenery, you really are over-loaded. And maybe that's the case here. Pollution and those awful gases been thrown up and clouded the sky, giving us a dark look and gloomy evening.
Poor us all.
Please save this earth.
For the sake of a better tomorrow
:)
one time it goes with bright blue, dancing with the sun lighten up the world
one time it goes with black, the darkness with some sparkles peeking from the distant
one time it goes with grey, the collision of many feelings and ended up with tears
Nevertheless, the sky still there
giving hope for a better today, a better tomorrow, and memorable past
Why your heart be heavy with worries?
Why won't you give a chance for a change?
Learn from the sky that face all troubles with steady rolling
It let the blue aside, allowed the thunder to scream
And cleanse the earth with silent cry
And be renewed again to face the day and the night
Don't you forget?
There was a time you laid down and looked up to the sky
And wondered of what those sparkles had seen and witnessed
And how they loyally watched over
And wrote down the memories human might forget
Sky has its own stories to tell
Just open your heart and let your mind wandered
It might find them
