The woods of wonder, where I wander in my imagination, don’t look the same as the beautiful forests I’ve wandered through across the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. Of course, those forests, in the majestic Colorado mountains, are beautiful. But they don’t even remotely compare with the ones in my mind.
Reminds me how Paul compared life here on Earth to Heaven.
He wrote a letter to the new Roman Christians and said, “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”
Of course, the sufferings of this present time don’t even remotely compare to the glory that’ll be revealed in us. Because that glory is the one true living, loving God of creation. So how could anything be compared to Him? Hint: it can’t.
Yeah, the creator of the universe and all life on our little blue planet lives IN those who believe and trust in him. And that’s the reason why you even have an imagination. And I believe it’s why your imagination can dream up visions that go far beyond the pale shades of this broken world.
That being said, you couldn’t imagine beyond yourself without the pale shades and creations of this broken world. And that’s why I thank God for creating me in the world I can enjoy as I walk through the…
Woods of Wonder
Walking in the woods of wonder…
Leaping off a limb of lights…
Slipping down a secret scots pine…
Kiwi trees are flying kites.
All around are dancing aspens…
With their white and wondrous wings…
Bristling branches and sweet breezes…
Where a speckled sparrow sings.
Rainbow redwoods rake the blue sky…
Mystic music mingles in…
Dragons drift by in their dreamboats…
Lemon larkspurs live within.
Walking in the woods of wonder…
Thinking thoughts of thrilling things…
Life’s a lilac filled with lightning..
