Spiritual feast: Beauty of Change

Topic: "The Beauty of Change"
"Take a good look at God's wonders--- they'll take your breath away." Psalm 66:5
"You set the limits of the earth; you made summer and winter." Psalm 74:17
Story:
 Almost everyone loves summer, but sometimes you can't see winter's graces at first glance. Ice or slush may mask the grace of skeletal trees that dot the landscape and thin grass that clings to the hard-packed earth. Yes, even in the stark lines of winter, you can see the work of a skillful artist-- God, who designed beauty to by dynamic, to renew itself in change.
  The seasons are perhaps nature's best example of this. You watch summer's bright greens give away to fall's warmer palette, then fade into winter's gray and white. Just when you long for the sight of green again, spring comes, bringing once more the buds of change and new life. God must have known you would need visuals to remind you of His purpose of beauty in change.
Prayer:
  Dear God,
Thank You for the changes in my life. May I receive them as Your way of growing me into what You want me to be. Thank You Jesus. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.
