The Wheels on the Van

This week I had the opportunity to go to Magic Waters in Rockford with the youth. It was the first time I had been there in about ten years. It was a blast. It is a weird sensation, though, when an intertube squeezes your bottom when going down a slide.

In the van on the way home, something was said that really made think. As we passed a FedEx truck she asked if we see the arrow? Do you see it?





See it. It is in between the bottom space of the E and the left side of the X. I don't know if it is intentional or not, but it's there. I had never seen it before, but now every time I see a FedEx truck the arrow is all I see. It is all about perspective. Our perspective is what forms our attitudes and opinions of the way things are. Our perspectives are so easily changed.

It makes me so glad that God's perspective of us never changes. The fact the he always looks at us, his children, with love and mercy regardless of all of the sinful, selfish, and sometimes even stupid things we do. He always carries and leads us through whatever trouble we get ourselves into.

Everytime I see a FedEx truck, that's what I look at. Of course, that means I might swerve a bit...oops!
