“It is no small honour that God for our sake has so magnificently adorned the world, in order that we may not only be spectators of this beauteous theatre, but also enjoy the multiplied abundance and variety of good things which are presented to us in it. Our gratitude in yielding to God the praise which is his due, is regarded by him as a singular recompense.”
–John Calvin

Sometimes I wish that God had made the world a smaller place so I could see all the things He created. So many things to see and be a part of. And yet, at the same time, how wonderful it is when I seemingly can enjoy His creation all by my lonesome (and tell others about it later). 😉
