Upon reading Crazy Love by Francis Chan (which is the best book on christianity ever written other than the bible of course), it made me think about how much we take things for granted sometimes.
Think about this for a second, god gave us this beautiful earth, and yet so often we just pass it by without a second thought. I mean, just stop and think about how beautiful it is, and so complex and intricate! You have things like birds that each have a differant song to seranade us with, differant creatures to marvel at, so many differant types of trees!
Also, the moon! Its this big glowy thing just chilling up in our sky. One inch closer to us and it would smash us to bits, one inch farther and oops, there goes the moon, no more tides, and life ceases to exist. god knew exactly what we needed. and yet we take all this for granted! Don't even get me started on the sun! oh look honey, its that silly little orange ball in the sky again, nothing special about that. without it, we would also cease to exist and freeze to death.
god did all this for a reason, and he made this planet so beautiful, yet we fail to realize this in day to day life. we should be waking up every morning, looking out the window and saying, holy crap! yup, those are the only words to describe it.
there is so much more i could get into about how beautiful and intricate life is, but this'll do for now. stop every now and then and just marvel at god's glorious gift to us.
