‘Observe intently the birds of heaven’


26 Dec

25 “On this account I say to YOU: Stop being anxious about YOUR souls as to what YOU will eat or what YOU will drink, or about YOUR bodies as to what YOU will wear. Does not the soul mean more than food and the body than clothing? 26 Observe intently the birds of heaven, because they do not sow seed or reap or gather into storehouses; still YOUR heavenly Father feeds them. Are YOU not worth more than they are?”

Matthew 6:25-26

Just something positive to think about for this particular time of the year.

Life is a matter of focus


16 Dec

Life is a matter of focus, originally uploaded by Thorsten Becker.

Sometimes seemingly trivial things can take on a meaning of their own. The leaf in the foreground seems to be rather insignificant. It is withered and dead. The building in the background is the headquarter of a large bank in northern Germany. To me this picture symbolizes how we tend to lose our focus, concentrate on money and wealth rather then on little things, those that are deemed worthless, unimportant or of no use by the powers around us. Just like the leaf we all wither and die one day. However, it did and still does possess an inner beauty and complexity unique to itself, just like we do. Who will notice us?
