"Look how beautiful the sunset is!" exclaimed my friend as she paused in her ascent up the hill.
I looked,but wasn't impressed.I was at a lower elevation than she was,and decided that apparentley she saw something that I didn't.
When I reached that height,I,too was awed by the splendor.None of it had been evident in the bottom of the hill.The rest of the neighborhood went about their business,unaware of what we were witnessing.Trees obscured their view of the beautiful sunset.
Sometimes you may feel like life is boring:the world goes on day after day,always the same old thing.Or maybe life is full of sadness,death's,tragedies,or natural disasters,and you don't see the purpose in it.Everything seems to go wrong.
How can you rise up out of the valley of despondency and see the beauty of life?By climbing the hill of praise.Praise God for who he is and for what He has done.Remember His promises.Thank Him for your blessings,for all the good things in life.Sing and smile.
As you climb the hill of praise,more and more of the glories will be revealed.Once you reach the top,you will be amazed how bright the outlook is.
Reaching the top of one small hill of praise doesn't necessarily mean that you will see all the beauty and understand all the meaning of life.There will always be more heights to climb and more to see and experience.One glorious day you will enjoy the perfect beauty of heaven with no recollection of the sadness below.
