Setting my sights on things beautiful

I’m looking at my window, seeing the beauty that God has created. I see gray and gloomy skies as it is about to rain. I also see the cables on the electric posts full of birds singing their beautiful music.

That scene made me think. Should I focus on the gray and gloomy skies or close my eyes and make my heart listen to the beautiful music that they are singing?

Ahhh life is full of choices. We can always focus on the gray skies and think about the things that we don’t have, the pain of failure and defeat, heartache and misery.

Or we can choose to close our eyes and listen to the birds singing and realize that while we are still living, there is always hope for a new beginning.

I’ve had my share of failure and defeat. I’ve cried buckets of tears because of heartaches and loneliness. My heart has been crushed and trampled on a million times. There are consequences that I am still paying for until now. But today, I choose to close my eyes and let my heart listen to the birds singing, after all, life is beautiful.
