Tending a Fire

There is something to be said about nature. John Eldredge talks about how society has taught us that a flower is just a flower, boring and normal and everywhere. Instead go buy an iPod, or a cool new mini-cooper car, or a better life.

I get it now. I get that flowers, trees, water, and sunsets are Gods creation that takes us just a little bit closer to our creator, when the world is constantly pulling us in the opposite direction.


This is me. Making a fire. Sometimes you have to put down the remote control and go do something else. So often in life we get wrapped up in the hectic craziness that consumes our daily living that we have to get away from it all to really enjoy life. So go do something with your spouse. Go watch a sunset. Or go for a walk. Go and build your fire.

Stepping back often gives us a different perspective. Sometimes clearer. Thank you for the reminder :)
