The day is cold and windy; waves
are splattering on the shore;
rain is falling in spurts, and
leaves of all colors are falling
[from the trees. Still, there is beauty.
Nature is constant; there is always beauty.
We have to look for it at times
but mostly it is there in front of our eyes.
All we have to do is open them and
we will be awed by how
the creator works. From the stars in
the night sky to the sun shining
strobe-like light from the lake,
here is beauty. It becomes incumbent
on us to try to imitate nature and
provide beauty for others.
There are many in need and even
the smallest effort on our part could
have a major impact on them.
So little effort on our part brings
major rewards for those with
no expectations. We could walk by
and still feel good, but taking time
to help out is beyond measure
the thing to do. We do not know
how long our efforts will be available
to us because we do not know how
the creator works. It is not ours to know
so our behavior should always be to
love, honor and respect others.
If we do this we will be part of
an angelic army, willing to sacrifice
to help others. Our reward will be substantial,
not only now, but forevermore.
The rain falls; the leaves drop;
the wind blows, and the lake stirs.
These things will continue long after
we are gone as will our opportunity
to do good things. There is no excuse
for waiting if we are to follow Him.
Act now and try to imitate His love.
