The World is a Canvas

Stop and smell the roses.

You’ve heard that before, haven’t you?

We moved to Minnesota from Texas last winter. I’ve always heard how intense the autumn leaves can be in the north. I haven’t had to be deliberate about “stopping to smell the roses,” or taking time to enjoy the beauty around me.

With bright, intense, amazing colors filling my vision everywhere I look, it’s more like the world is a canvas awash in color. The colors are as vibrant in the fall as they are in the spring. Here, there is as much beauty in dying leaves as there is in spring flowers.

God has outdone Himself with the colors. His creativity astounds me.

And we, His children, should be creative too!

I love that He’s given me the ability to write novels and proclaim His glory. Last night, I took a knitting class and I keep envisioning all the beautiful, colorful creations I can make.

What about you? Do you have a skill or a craft you enjoy? What do you love to create?
