Borrowing a Sunset

Driving home this evening, I saw a beautiful sunset. I began thinking how things in our lives are like sunsets. Just because something is beautiful doesn't mean that you can keep it or that it will stay. You can see and enjoy these things but you can't capture them. Its just the way you can't capture the true essence of a sunset with a camera. Still, the sunset's value is not diminished. We only become dissatisfied when we attempt to hold onto the beauty in this life that was never meant to stay. Never plan to keep the beauty. Just borrow it for awhile.
