It’s always good to get perspective.
Last week, we went to Colorado’s Great Sand Dunes National Park. It’s a dramatic place – huge sand dunes are spread at the base of a larger chain of mountain peaks.
Thankfully, the weather was perfect. The wind was not blowing very much. The temperature was cool – our bare feet did not burn.
It’s always good to remember just how small we are in the scope of things.
(That’s Heather in the middle. Jay, Ben and Rachel are in the distance.)
This reminds me of one of my favorite Rich Mullins songs:
We are frail
We are fearfully and wonderfully made
Forged in the fires of human passion
Choking on the fumes of selfish rage
And with these our hells and our heavens
So few inches apart
We must be awfully small
And not as strong as we think we are
