The Long Journey

As I sit in the car on my way to my brothers house in Florida, I look out the window and I look up at the sky and view the white clouds as the lay across the blue backdrop. I see the green pine trees on the side of the long highway that makes up 99% of our trip. And as I look at the trees, I am reminded of a fact I learned in biology class. No two natural trees in the entire worlde are exactly the same. None at all. That fact alone blows my mind. As we continue our drive, I just see tree after tree after tree after... well you get the point. And to think, not one of these trees that I see is exactly like another. God, creater of the universe put so much detail into the world that its impossible for us not to see him around us. For example, the sun is the perfect distance away from earth so that we can live and function properly. If it were any closer, we would burn up. Any father away, we would freeze to death. Another example, as crazy as it seems, is our ability to sneeze. If our sneezes were to travel slower than they do, we would physically choke on our snot. Any faster and our eyes would pop out of their sockets.How can we deny the simple wonders that God has created. All of these little known facts make me wonder, "How could people not be in awe of what God has done!" Not just the big things that are mentioned in the bible, but the little things that are all around us. So this is what I ask of those of you who read this. Be in awe of the things God has done for you.Worship Him for not just the big things, but the little things as well.

Thank you and God bless,
