There are times in all of our lives, moments that will go on to
alter our lives forever. These moments that shape us and grow us in the coming
years, preparing us to be reunited with God. This is the very purpose of these
moments, whether it be a child smiling or a beautiful sunset over the ocean, we
all experience those quieting moments that give us a better understanding of
the world around us. God put us on this Earth not just to learn, but to enjoy
the gift of life, as each day is an amazing journey waiting for you to explore
it. Whether you are gazing at the stars or a patch of roses blooming in a
field, all of it is done by God, made with a specific design and intent in
mind, to enjoy!
Though God gave us life to prepare us for His grace, there is another purpose as well that you shouldn't forget. God works in very mysterious ways, and always amazes me in one form or another, no matter how much I think that I know about him. Life is mainly an adventure. It is special moments like these that bring us closer to God and gives us a better idea of His grace and raw depth. When it is all said and done, you can and most likely will forget all of the little details of life, but not those special momentous and meaningful occasions that stick out starkly in contrast to all of the dull everyday moments of life.
