stuck in a beautiful place right?

We were driving through a most beautiful place. We were amazed at how green the water was. There are few places in the world which have such green rivers. And then it happened, we came into a line of standstill traffic that stretched as far as the eye could see. And if you have to be stuck somewhere in the world, at least be stuck in a beautiful place, or perhaps it would be better to say, you should find beauty wherever you find yourself stuck?



Life is too short to be stuck somewhere ugly in life. This applies to every kind of stuck, in life. Regardless if you are stuck in a job you can't stand. Regardless if you are caught in a relationship you cannot abide. Regardless if you are stuck in an impossible situation, you had better find some beauty there, or you are gonna crash and burn. I know, I have been stuck in some of those kinds of places.

Now where I am typing this blog from is just naturally breathtaking. Unfortunately it seems few places in life where you get stuck are like this. Most of the time, even the word stuck implies ugliness. But you have got to find some beauty or your soul will crumble. You will find that which makes you you will begin to shrivel. Paul says in Philippians 4:12 that he learned the secret of being content. Contenment is a big subject, but at least one aspect for me is finding beauty wherever I get stuck in life.
