There are some places that leave me in awe. Some places that reflect beauty in ways that I could not have imagined on my own. Some places that just make me smile at the creativity of our Creator. And some places that I’ll never forget.
If you were to replace “places” with “people” in the above sentences, it would all still be true.
We are continually surrounded by things that impact our lives: people, births, deaths, landscapes, walls, etc. And the things we do ourselves impact those around us: sowing, smiling, reaping, building, encouraging, weeping, creating, sharing, understanding, etc.
There is a ripple effect that we have on the people and the things surrounding us.
Just like the beautiful scene above had an impact on me, you have an impact on those around you – whether you realize it or not.
When we do something, it not only changes our lives, but it also shapes the lives of others, and sometimes it does so without us ever even realizing it. We are being watched by younger siblings, parents, peers, strangers, etc.
What do they see you doing that will have an impact on their lives?
Breathtaking is definitely the word! You captured it so well! Good thoughts too.
Wow. There are no words to describe that. <3
Wow! all I can say is…Oh Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder, consider all the works thy hands have made!
That is so pretty! Did you take that picture?
Rachel, yes, thank you! I captured the above photograph at Indiana Dunes, just off the shore of Lake Michigan. It was breathtaking!
How beautiful! I am so speechless! I pray that all of my words are deifying when talking (of leaving a comment) with dear friends or my dear brothers and parents! Thanks for the reminder!
Blessings,

As a mother of six blessings, I need to be mindful of this at all times.. thank you for the reminder.

I just read your comment. Congratulations for taking such a wonderful picture.
Rather I should thank you for sharing it.
So true, and every decision we make changes the course of history in some way, yet we make too many decisions without prayer, and often even thought.
