"For what can be known about God is evident to them, because God made it evident to them. Ever since the creation of the world, (God's) invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what (God) has made."
Romans 19-20
On my walk this morning, I noticed several trees in their full-on red glory. Other trees were still in the process of turning and their colors were almost iridescent. Over all this beauty hung the still-almost-full moon, like a huge soccer ball, in the sky. Pray-As-You-Go asked us to reflect on what we see in creation and what does it tell us about God. The tremendous beauty shows me how God is steadfast and never-changing, like the moon. Reassured in that, we are called to be like the trees, constantly transforming and letting go of ourselves--being open to regular shedding of the old and budding of something new. Under the steadfast love of God, we can allow our hearts to be changed, our attitudes and opinions to be transformed until we are able to look around us with eyes more like God's eyes. Our world is not just black and white. Our world is a mass of color and light, birth and death, sorrow and joy. Under God's loving gaze, we can learn to hold these paradoxes and ironies of our colorful world. Today, let's all find some time to be outside and experience the power and divinity that God shows us in creation. Especially this beautiful time of year, God is showing us, so vividly, the path of life. Love, heidi
