Life

I heard a song recently and I love this quote from it:

"I love this crazy, tragic, sometimes almost magic, awful beautiful life."

Isn't that so true? Life can be crazy! So crazy, running here and there. Life can be tragic. Oh so tragic. And there are times when we see the sun setting from the airplane window or a hill full of Autumn trees and we can't help but think that there's a little bit of "magic" to this life. It's awful at times, it's beautiful at times. Life.

I love the "Life is Good" shirts because I am generally a glass-half-full kind of girl. But sometimes to say that "life is good" doesn't really cut it. Sometimes life is hard. Sometimes you don't even want to get out of bed in the morning. But other times it is amazing and you can't wait to see what's next.

I'd say Christ experience each of these things in his life as well--the craziness of his disciples, the tragedy of his death, the magic of his miracles, the awfulness of sin and the beauty of his creation.

Even though life's not perfect, there's so much to love about it.
