I took this picture a few years ago when I was in Bergen, Norway. It wasn’t until much later that I noticed what was behind this live golden statue, McDonalds, which is also called the “golden arches.” I remember how frustrated I was in trying to get an appropriate backdrop. I finally gave up and just tried to frame him with the architectural lines.
It reminds me a bit about life. We think we have things all figured out and know just what should happen. Things seem to go awry and only later we can see the bigger picture from God’s point of view. Then we see that God’s plan was so much better than ours.
The hard part is trying to remember that truth when things don’t go the way we want.
