The rains came through our community on last night, along with roaring thunder, and flashing lightening.
This morning was noticeably and incredibly beautiful outside. I went outside to my patio to see how my plants had fared in the storm, and noticed that one of my tomato plants had been broken in the middle by the winds and storm.
As I looked around the landscape I began to be aware of how crisp, clean, and clear it was out. I began to notice the grass looking greener, the sky a vivid blue, and the sparse clouds all puffy and white. I began to see a few leaves, orange, yellow, and red fall from the trees.
I sat in a chair to take in the beauty of God's glorious creation, and to render thanks unto Him. I began to see all the flowers and shrubs around me bursting with colors of purples, whites, pinks, and greens, and it gave me a sense of peace, love, and joy in my inner man, as I thought about how meticulous God was in His choices of colors for His creation.
Yet, I was grieved as I thought of all the destruction going on in the world, and asked myself, "If I were to color the destruction, violence, hatred, and prejudice prevalent in our society, what colors would I use?"
If it was now my responsibility to give color to the pain, agony, and grief of a family senselessly losing a father, son, or brother, what color would I use?
If I had to put a color on the fading hope of a mother, the dwindling confidence of an unrealized prayer, and faith beginning to falter after struggling so long, what color would I use?
Not knowing the answers, I asked myself, again thinking of God's glorious creation, and the goodness he shows towards us, what color would be vivid enough for Unconditional Love?
What color could characterize Peace in it's fullness?
What color would exemplify Joy in it's totality?
If it were up to you, What Colors would you use??
