i was watching planet earth last night and as i sat looking at the beauty of the world something said to me in a clear voice this is what God saw when He made man. then it dawned on me that God put us on this beautiful planet filled with everything we could ever need and blessed us. it reminded me of the house He gave me just when i needed it the most. i raised my 3 children here along with just about every other kid they knew growing up. it took alot to feed them and they all always needed something new. my house needed everything doe to it. new wiring and plumbing. 20 coats of wallpaper had to be removed from every wall and ceiling. there were no appliances and as i gave my baby girl a bath i stepped through the floor and dining room ceiling. but God gave me this house and i set out to make it a home and even after 30 years of being here i am still not finished. now all i can do is little jobs and i will probably never get to do what i wanted to with this house but i make it as nice as i can since it is a gift from God. that is what started me thinking of my house. i know i want to make it the best it can be. i want to always make it look good. so i wonder what happened to the world. why didnt we do the same to that wonderful gift God gave us at first? when God looks down at us now what is He seeing? His beautiful creation or what we have turned it into. as i drive through my city i see trash being thrown everywhere. my daughter and i walk our dogs along the lafayette river and all we see is trash. she went down and picked up enough trash to fill a large trash bag but that does not stop people from throwing trash out there still. my daughter is always afraid a fish or turtle will eat some of the trash and die a slow painful death. and they will. i look at the news and see what we have become. it is sad to see so much hate and violence. i see why God is going to do what He has shown me is coming. we deserve it, that slow and painful death we put others to.
