Colored Skies

Colored Skies

Blue skies, golden skies, orange or pink skies. Beauty. From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same. But the most beautiful of all are purple skies. Oh my. Sometimes I feel as though God made purple skies just for me.  When all is blue and the sun begins to sink beneath the horizon with shades of pink and orange to announce its setting, for just a little while, the skies are purple. Sometimes muted, sometimes brilliant, and at other times mixed with the most passionate and deep of grays, letting us know the heavens are about to usher in a thunderstorm. He shows us His love in all of His creation and causes us, each and every one, to believe He did it "just for me".

Moonlight on the Water

Moonlight on the Water

There is something about water that is soothing to the soul. Whether it be an ocean, a river, a lake or even a little pond. Water is calming. I think that is why God made such a large portion of the earth water. And whether it is moving with an ebb and flow, a gentle current, rushing rapids or as still as glass, it calms me. But to make it even more beautiful, more breath taking and more awing to me is the reflection of the moonlight showing every wave, every rivulet and swirl. Even the stillness of a stagnant pond becomes inspiring and a thing of beauty when graced by the light of the moon.
