God's Creation
One day, I went for a walk near our house. We live by the seaside, where the air is always fresh and the view is endlessly beautiful. As I breathed in the salty breeze and gazed around me, I couldn’t help but feel deeply thankful for the stunning creation of God that surrounds me.
I feel incredibly blessed to live in a place where I can witness God’s marvelous handiwork every day. The changing seasons—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—paint the world with colors and moods so distinct and vivid. Each one holds its own beauty, reminding me of the divine creativity that shapes our world.
This walk made me reflect on something deeper: as part of God’s creation, people are unique and beautiful too. God has given each of us something special—something we can offer to those we meet each day.
Often, we forget that our value doesn't lie in how we look, but in how we live and love. True beauty can’t be measured by outward appearance. A person who shares smiles and kindness is more attractive than someone who may be physically beautiful but closed off or unkind. Given the choice, we would all rather be with joyful people than with grumpy ones.
But is there really anything to smile about in this troubled world?
Yes! I smiled just this morning as I looked at the flowers blooming around me. Their colors were simple reminders of hope. We smile when we receive a compliment—or when we give one. Small moments of joy are everywhere if we choose to notice them.
I’m also grateful for the sun. When it shines, it brings light not only to the earth but to our hearts—especially here in Norway, where the winter days can be so long and dark. During those cold months, just a glimpse of sunlight feels like a gift.
Just like the sun, we too can shine. We can bring light into the lives of others by staying positive, kind, and thankful. There is always something to be grateful for, no matter the season or circumstance.
And when we choose gratitude, we reflect the beauty of God’s creation—not just around us, but within us.
