Col 3: 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. Yesterday I carried the question: what lasts? what will remain ‘above’ when there is no more ‘on earth?’
“Mom you have GOT to come outside right now” my17yr old insisted as he was about to drive his brother to a thing for me. GLORY- sunset- bright pink skies and a son who KNEW i would appreciate just staring at it. He makes a goofy face while I take the photo; I pray for their safety as they drive off and I keep staring at the clouds.
That sunset didn’t last. Fear in watching kids drive away, flashes of accidents and broken bodies? That won't last either- part of the dying earth and will someday be totally gone.
But God displaying beauty? Definitely part of eternal life together with him. There will be more sunsets. Enjoying beauty with others- telling each other “you have got to see this!” I expect that will be part of the praise and glory as well- likely with more singing, and maybe even some skipping or even dancing about it.
