My favorite thing about puddles (besides jumping in them) is how they reflect the heavens. Whether it’s clouds cruising through a blue sky or city lights mixing with stars, the images in puddles create a beautiful picture of life. Add in a single pebble or a slight tremor through the ground, and the image ripples, distorting the reflection and revealing yet another viewpoint of the world around us.
In the busyness of life, we tend to get caught up in our own perspective. Questions like, “why do bad things happen to good people?” and “when will my prayers be answered?” flood our thoughts on the days we cannot see past our own circumstances. But maybe we aren’t asking the right questions. Maybe we need a new perspective, a puddle showing a second sky that reminds us the world isn’t always what we perceive it to be.
So, what questions do you have? How can you find a new perspective? Share with us your search for a second sky as we endeavor together to see beyond what we can on our own.
