From this year's Olympics, I have learned that it can be hard to cheer for a team that isn't supported by the majority, even if you do manage to rally some like-minded fans. The Games have served to remind me that I am not where I grew up. I am in a place where the culture, history, and values are actually pretty different. I realized that I missed Canada. And watching the beautified images on TV of British Columbia and other natural treasures across Canada, I couldn't help but feel that God had made a pretty good-looking Earth. There are parts of this Earth that are awesome, awe-inspiring, and probably fun to spend some time in. And then again, I take a step back and remember that there is only one thing that I ask of the Lord, that I will seek: "that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord."
LORD, I have fallen a little in love with the beauty of your world. Like you said, "it is good." But I haven't forgotten the Creator. I appreciate all the blessings that you shower on me, but may they all point me back towards you. I want to seek more of you, that I may grow more to trust you, run to you, and find strength in you.
