"I Want More Color In My Life"

I found myself saying this last night when talking to Rick about our yard. That statement got me thinking about the color in my life and how God has surrounded me by his beauty. It is all around me. Have any of you ever just stepped back and looked at the color in your life? For me, I see brown when I look into my husband and children’s eyes showing me the joy of family. I see red when looking at Maxson running around and Aiden rolling around, all the while smiling, showing me the fire of life. I see green with the freshness of the new growth of the spirit inside of our little men and also in us (it is amazing to watch the thirst for the Word that our son already has. Pray that he continues to have that always). I see yellow in the relationships I have with friends and family. If you look you can see color in everything, it could be just the color of the sky, grass in a field, or flowers in someone’s yard. It doesn’t take to much effort to see the beauty of color that God has provided, even when the skies are grey. For God is beauty and God is in everything. You just need to open your eyes and look around for the color in your life.

“From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth.” Psalm 50:2
