Sightseeing
¬Ý
Are you speeding full throttle through life never observing any of the beauty and wonder? Do you snapshot life saying, ’ÄúYep, I saw that,’Äù but never savor the experience? Do you observe, touch and experience the wonders of everyday?¬Ý That makes you a sightseer.
I recently vacationed with my parents and one of our destinations was to be Mt. Rushmore.¬Ý I’Äôd never been there so I excitedly looked forward to walking around and sightseeing.¬Ý When we arrived, to my disappointed amazement dad began looking for a place to pull over in order to take a picture.¬Ý He had no intention of going into the park.¬Ý Well, due to the road design there were few adequate places in which to accomplish this and they were being used.¬Ý We found ourselves at the entrance to the park and had to enter anyway.¬Ý
I was elated.¬Ý
We parked walked forty yards took pictures and promptly left.¬Ý They said, ’ÄúWell we got what we came for.’Äù¬Ý¬Ý One of the most spectacular U.S. landmarks and we were there only minutes.¬Ý I was deflated!¬Ý I wanted to touch, see and experience everything Mt. Rushmore had to offer.¬Ý They just wanted to say they’Äôd been there.¬Ý
Life’Äôs journey is full of sights and wonders.¬Ý Some never slow down long enough to see them.¬Ý Still others take only snapshots, but there are those who refuse to let one minute pass without experiencing all that it holds. They touch and are touched because they live sightseeing.¬Ý I hope that you and I today will determine not to let another day pass without living this way.¬Ý
Life is full of wonder, don’Äôt just take snapshots, but touch and be touched by them.¬Ý

Take a good look at God's wonders-- they'll take your breath away. Psalm 66:5 (The Message)
