BoRrOwEd HeAvEn


All things that are beautiful and wonderful in my life are a gift from God. A small piece of Heaven that He has let me borrow before it fades away. All things beautiful that I breath in: a fragrant flower, the smell of fresh fallen rain. Borrowed. All things beautiful that I touch, a baby's silky smooth skin, sand underneath my feet, water running through my hair, the wind. Borrowed. All things beautiful that I see: a child's smile, a gorgeous sunset, a falling star. Borrowed. All things beautiful that I hear: a child's laugh, the sound of the waves crashing in from the ocean. Borrowed. I know I'm standing in Borrowed Heaven. Life truly is a Heaven on earth if we open up ourselves up to experience the wonder of all God's creations that surround us. He gave me life and I will give it back. But before I do I'm going to hold it tight. This is my prayer. I know I'm living in Borrowed Heaven. I stand in awe at the Majesty of God.

This lends itself to an awesome song...are you going to write it or can I!? :)

Sarah Irvin said...

I was thinking that same thing. But only the part about it needing to be a song :)

And that picture is breathtaking!
