Occasionally we’re given opportunities to see the big picture. We were given an expansive view of how far we’ve come and where we’re going. We almost instantly gain perspective and we’re able to see the purpose in our pain. To realize the wisdom and growth we’ve gained in our journey.

But most of the time we’re in the thick of it. We’re in the forest surrounded by thick trees covered by treetops and we just keep going. We can't really see the destination we’re aiming for but we know it’s there. We get caught up in the daily activities of life, working, taking care of ourselves and our children and our families. We can lose sight of how far we’ve come, the beauty that is all around us and we just can’t always see the destination ahead of us.

Fortunately our father in heaven gives us these beautiful aha moments or epiphanies where we get to step outside of our daily path for a few minutes and see the big picture or expanded view of our journey. These experiences are special and may come at different times for everyone. Maybe these experiences come in moments of prayer or meditation. Or maybe these moments come when we’re on vacation or out of our normal daily activities. I think they are rare moments and when they happen it’s important for us to recognize them and learn all that we can from them and remember them when we get back on the path of our daily lives.
