Random Thought


I took the boys to my in-laws this morning, bright and early, just at sunrise. The sky was pink over the lake, and Quinn said "Look Colby! The sun's waking up! " Colby replied "ooohhh, pretty". Then they asked where the moon was, and we talked about how we don't see the moon as much when the sun is up, because the sun is so bright. And it occurred to me that this is just one more of the millions of "parables" God built in nature, echoing the "reality" of Him. We people of the earth are so much like the moon... a dull, lifeless rock, that becomes glorioius only through the reflection of the sun's light. What gives us life and beauty is the spirit that is a reflection of our Creator, just as the moon's beauty comes as a reflection of the light of the Sun....
Just another example of how we are adjectives, and not the Noun. Hmmmm.
