peacock praise

So I've always been in love with peacocks. I just think that their colors are so incredibly beautiful. Basically my favorite colors are all the colors of a peacock feather: teal blue, green, chocolate brown, chartreuse, etc. The other day a girl asked me what my favorite color was and I just responded without even thinking, "Peacock". But to simply say it without a long explanation, that is my favorite color! :)

Walker came into my office the other day and noticed that I had a picture of a peacock feather as the background on my computer. He said, "Wow isn't that amazing! It's crazy that God created so complex a beauty on so simple a thing for our enjoyment." (or something along those lines!) It really is true. I have thought about that often, but never really put it into words like he did. I have become so "in love" with peacocks and their beauty, but what I have really become "in love" with is the amazing love of God that he would create that for me to enjoy. If I could thank Him for it I would just have to say as my Mom always says about things, "It makes me so happy inside." :)

To me a peacock feather is an outpouring of God's love for me to erupt in me an outpouring of praise to Him. And because of that I can't help, but praise him! I guess that's why I want to include peacock feathers and that color scheme in my wedding one day because to me it will represent a part of God's love for me. Lately I have realized more and more that though a wedding is for us on earth it truly is a form of worship and commitment to God above. And I want my wedding to represent that in every way. I want my wedding to be a reflection of God's love and glory.

So the next time you see a peacock feather praise God for His amazing love and beautiful handiwork made just for you!
