Creative Inventions - Created World

Are you techy? Are you drawn to anything new on the market?

Technology is amazing. We don’t go through a day without using various inventions related to our jobs, communication, and entertainment. We owe a lot to the men and women who have created “tools” that enhance our lives in so many ways.

But sometimes . . . I think it’s healthy to take a break from it . . .

My husband and I decided that we needed a “play day” away from our usual work-related responsibilities and agendas. So we took “time out” at a zoo in the area that’s connected to a large park with flower gardens, acres of green grass, and trees. We enjoyed the sunshine, the animals, and each other’s company.

We took pleasure in what GOD created. And oh, my goodness! What amazing creatures He has provided for our entertainment. They come in all sizes, shapes, and colors. They fly, swim, and roam the earth.

I think we can get so wrapped up in our computers, iPhones, TVs, video games . . . and other electronic gadgets and gizmos that have been created . . . we forget about THEE creator who gave us life and a beautiful world to live in.

God is the creator of ALL things – and that includes the people with the intellect to invent.

Do you take time to inhale the sweet scent of blooming flowers? Observe a bird’s flight? Marvel at cottony clouds in the sky? Notice the deep, rich colors of the forest, or a tree bark’s rough texture? Feel moss, soft between your toes?

I encourage you to turn off technology – for even ten minutes – and enjoy what God has created for you.

  1. That is one of my favorite things to do. I could sit by a stream or walk through a forest for hours. God's creation is a great fascination for me - always has been. Great pics - thanks for the reminder.
    God Bless.

  2. Me, too, Jan!

    Spending time in/with nature makes me feel even more connected to God. And if I'm struggling with anything, it helps put things in perspective.
