  5. LOOKING UP

Nowadays when walking through town, or on a bus, or a train you see so many people staring at their phones, looking through Facebook or whatever and the world trundles past them and they don’t even notice 

Do you ever take a minute to take in your surroundings? I mean, when we are looking at something famous, a landmark, or scenery, we can all step back and give it the full attention it deserves. But how many times do we do that on a daily basis, with the every day steps we take.   

Now, I am not advocating that we don’t watch where we put our feet, we need to be careful out there……but….. 

The reason for saying this is that Dundee has a whole selection of wonderful building dotted throughout the city centre and beyond, that we are in danger of passing by without seeing the full beauty of it. 

bove is a picture that I took of a church roof in Cologne when we were there in June.  It was a nice building tucked away behind some houses, but the real beauty was found in the roof as you will see from the picture.  This got me to be thinking about how often we stop to take a moment just to take it all in. 

Just take a moment….pause……have a look at your surroundings…..look up…. 

You may just be inspired 

God bless 

Your friend and minister 

Alan
