OK... FOREVER
That's about how long its been since I bogged. I know that writing is not my thing but just had to share this God Moment.
Last week I was driving through Brentwood and passing some of the most amazing house-mansion-castle-complexes I have ever seen. The initial thoughts that ran through my mind went something like this:
"How can someone actually LIVE in a place like that?"
"How could someone justify spending that much money on a house?"
"What do these people do for a living?"
"How many rooms do they actually use"
"How many people actually live there?"
"Wow... that driveway through the middle of the house is so cool"
"Man, What I could do with a house like that"
"That one is so beautiful"
I had actually gone from a position of loathing to a place of awe and envy.
And that's when I turned the corner...

Scattered across the rolling hills was a magnificent sunset. It was full of pink, red, orange, purple and every hue in between. I looked back at the huge houses and they actually looked very blah, pale and most of all very, very, very small.
Then God said very softly "I made this for you". You didn't have to save any money to buy it... didn't have to wait months and years for its construction... and best of all... others can share it with you no matter who they are.
I smiled and just looked back one more time at the small "shacks" that I had just a moment before been in awe of.
God is so Good, and HE gives His gifts to ALL of us for free.
Just open your eyes and see!!!
