the other week i watched the
world pyro olympics in manila -- and was truly amazed at how beautiful these fireworks could be. its beauty made the hassle and traffic of going to the esplanade in pasay city worth its while.
i sat that friday night mesmerized at the fireworks display of denmark and canada. they were awesome, truly beautiful. it gave me a greater appreciation for all that's good and beautiful in this life. made me want to visit some theme parks once again - if only for the fireworks display. (yep, i am not big on theme park rides, at least not anymore, and not without kids.)
however, as i thought about all that and sat amazed at some fireworks display made by men, i was reminded that god's infinite design is so much better than what we can come up with. that from the very beginning he has had a plan for each one of us -- and nothing we can conjure in our minds can beat what god has designed for us.
after watching the pyro olympics, i made a decision that i will regularly and intentionally take a moment to look at the beautiful things in life -- and then, remind myself that god's plan is still so much more beautiful.
(these pictures were of the fireworks display presented by australia, and taken by some friends from abs-cbn.)
