The lyrics give such a beautiful paining of the world around us.

Lyrics:

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom before me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

We have all seen trees of green and roses bloom. Every plant around us we have seen flourished in the sunlight and rain. The air has a scent surrounding what blooms at different times of the year based on where you live.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, saying “How do you do?”
They’re really saying, I love you

We all seen have beautiful rainbows are in the sky. A reminder of God’s promise to us.

Have you ever noticed people walking by. I am not just speaking of simply walking. Have you made eye contact or given a smile in acknowledgement to them maybe even open a door for them or simply offered a greeting? Or is your head cluded to your device you don’t notice the world or those around you?

We have friends when we finally get to hang out we greet either by hand shake or a hug. The one thing this virus has done is made one realize we all need contact with others. We especially needed it with like believers in fellowship. Thankfully churches are back in session and some never fully closed to begin with always had some mean of communication with us and now the world. It is a beautiful to watch the connection we are having with others around the world as one body of Christ and in fellowship worshipping together either near or far away. The web keeps us all connected so it doesn’t seem we are so far away.

II hear babies crying, I watch them them grow
They’ll learn much more and I’ll never know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Oh yeah

The saying is true whem speaking if you blink you might miss it. I had the privilege to watch my twin cousins grow up each time they came down to visit. When they first came they were babies and then over the years as time goes you grow up yourself having been kid at the time next thing you know they graduated high school and you are already in the work force for 10 years. I am 10 years their senior. It is amazing how time flies by quickly with babies. I’ve heard them cry as I always loved hanging out with my younger cousins instead of adults around the holidays and worked in daycare for a few years. Even as a kid I would go to the nursery. They are so innocent they do not know anything about what is happening in the world. They don’t know the hatred and violent going on. All that they see is someone cares for them. They are pure innocent love and have to be taught to hate someone. They don’t know if your black white yellow or purple all they see is a friend. They don’t care where you are from all they care about is a playmate. They see the world through love just like Jesus does when He sees His children. In a way I see it as a reflection of God shining through them. They learn to get along fairly quickly with others. When they don’t it isn’t based on anything other then maybe wanting a toy and not sharing it or something very less equivalent. They surely know vast more than us. If they can so easily get along as chidldren why can’t Adults do the same.

Personal thought…What causes one to no longer it along with others? I have no problem getting along with others is it always perfect no but I don’t have hatred inside me fo them or any discord. I let go and let God. Truly easy to surrender it to Him then let it eat at me. I pray to get along to find a common ground and build from there. One would like to think others would seek the same. We all want to live our life and live it with peace and getting along together. So thankful most kids are still inncoent of the world that surrounds them and don’t see all that is wrong with the world currently.

Yet despite it all it is “A Wonderful World”. I don’t have time to be brought down by others or pushed to go a certain way. I am merely passing through and this is not my home. As a Christian I am but here for a time and until my Father calls me home. I am to reach out to others and let them see the the difference in me and maybe want the Love and Peace as only He could give for themselves by seeing it in me. I am to spread the gossip which is the good news. Good news is Jesus came to save that which is lost and He took our sins when He went to the cross to pay a debt He did not owe. So that we can have eternal life. He rose again 3 days later. Not even death could hold the King. He paved a way for us through His blood so that we would not parrish. That alone makes it a wonderful world created by God who then sent His son to be born and then to the cross. What A Wonderful World and Love of God we have and truly blessed by the creations He created around us and by sending His son so that we can spend eternity with Him for those that believe.

I don’t know where you all are from that will read this. I am blessed to live where I do the freedoms I have. I know so many around the world do not have the same freedoms and some live in 3rd world country. We tend to take for granted what we have. This I hope reminds you What A Wonderful World we have and not to take for granted the things that you have. For in a blink of a moment it could be all gone. I encourage you to go out into the world and truly see it as it was meant to be seen. See and feel the love that surrounds you and breath in the air. Smell the the air with the aromas of trees and flowers and lakes and rivers. The crisp mountain air that cools you down and wraps around you like a hug. Whatever surrounds enjoy it as it is a gift from God.
