how we see the world

Three men who were visiting the Grand Canyon for the first time – an artist, a pastor, and a cowboy. As they stood together at the edge of the massive abyss, the Artist exclaimed, “Ah …. What a beautiful scene to paint.” The Pastor waved his arms in sweeping gestures and declared, “What a wonderful example of the magnificent handiwork of Father God.” Then the Old Cowboy grumbled, “What a terrible place to lose a cow.”

How we look at something makes all the difference in the world.  We tend to look at things through the lens of self-protection and self-validation.  What would happen if we saw the world through the eyes of another?

We might get off of our high horse for a moment and save someone's cow [from utter disaster].  Don't let that joke take you away from the point.  We can't save someone's bacon until we learn to look at the world through their eyes.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
