Ah, but I think you've possibly missed a subtle but important point:
It isn't possible that we will cease to think about and appreciate our Creator's handiwork. Our appreciation for the cosmos will only grow. He has promised us New Heavens and a New Earth, and I for one intend to explore them all.
From scanning your blog, I know that you are an educator, but (as far as I can tell), not a mom yet...
But imagine for a moment that you had a young child, and you made her a very special Christmas gift. Now, try to imagine that after tearing the wrappings off your special gift, she set it aside, ignored it, and simply sat staring up at you with some idyllic expression on her face. How would you feel?
Our LORD has this to say to us, about His new creation:
"But be glad and rejoice forever
in that which I create;
for behold, I create Jerusalem to be a joy,
and her people to be a gladness."
- Isaiah 65:18
Our LORD wants us to enjoy His beautiful creation. He made it for us and is gifting us with it.
Blessings, friend!
Wow! I didn't think of it that way. All I could think of was I can't wait until that day comes that I will be with my Heavenly Father and all I want to do is worship and praise Him which is our ultimate purpose why we are here on Earth.
But yes, God made all these things for us to enjoy and appreciate so that we can give Him back all the glory and honour and praise.
Thank you for your words of wisdom. I am not a mother yet, but I do understand what you're trying to point out. If I do something for my child or for anyone, I would like them to enjoy and appreciate it because it is a gift purposefully for them.
