Silver Lining on the Clouds, Setting Sun and Mayon Volcano as Viewed from the Bus Terminal
One afternoon as I was waiting for the bus to leave the Legazpi City Bus Terminal for my home city of Tabaco the beauty of the afternoon sun and Mayon volcano caught my attention. I have been so used to the sight of Mayon Volcano, I have seen both its natural beauty and violence during eruptions, for many years I have taken its beauty for granted. But this time while waiting for the Bus to leave the terminal I was moved to reflect on the beauty of God and His goodness as manifested in His creation. I thank the Lord for giving me this gift of beauty and the chance to live in one of the most beautiful spot on earth.
I was reminded of Psalm 83 which says thus:
"Quam dilecta, tabernacula tua, Domine virtutum:concupiscit et deficit animam mea in atri Domino. Cor meum, et caro mea exultaverunt in Deum vivum. Etenim passer invenit sib domum et turtur nidum sibi, ubi ponat pullos suos."
"How lovely are they tabernacles, O Lord of hosts: my soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh have rejoiced in the living God. For the sparrow hath found herself a house: the turtle a nest for herself where she may lay her young ones..."
Indeed our eternal rest is in the Lord, the setting sun and the silver lining in the clouds remind us of hope and of the ever abiding goodness of the Lord. O Lord you are our Father, you have guided us and led us. Remind us always of your goodness so that even in the midst of busy days and pressures of work we may never be swallowed by the cares of this earthly life but may nurture the seed you have sown in our hearts. May your grace be our everlasting habitation. Through Jesus Christ Our Lord Amen.
