I tend to believe, when the sun is shining, it’s difficult not to be happy. I know that isn’t always the case, but more times than not, this is a true statement. As I have mentioned many times (along with other fellow “daily photo parable” writers), we live in a sinful world. As true as that statement is, we also know God has created many amazing scenes to lift our spirit and help remind us of what life is truly about – a relationship with Him.
Over the past few days, I was able to take some time off and we had a chance to visit a different part of the country – specifically, the New England states. This particular image was captured in the city of Boston, Mass. More specifically, Boston Public Gardens, in the heart of the city. As you may already know, Boston has some rich American history, with the Boston Tea Party as one example. The city also has some beautiful scenery, as I captured in the image of these vibrant tulips, in full bloom, with the backdrop of weeping willows and the garden pond.
The sun was out, the colors were gorgeous, and happiness was the focal point, not the worries of the world. God is good to us, for sure. He provides what we need, while we wait for the gift He has generously given us – eternal life with Him. What an awesome God!
The next time you are outside (or even inside looking out) look for the sunshine, look for the good in every day God has given you. I hope just the thought of that brings you a bit of happiness.
