The Sun Through the Frost
Yesterday morning, as the sun rose beside the neighbor’s house, we sipped our coffee. Sitting on the couch, we watched out the window as the individual rays of sunlight touched the leaf-bare branches of our berry tree. The dried red berries were coated with frost, and as the sun melted the crystal fragments, each berry, one by one, glistened with a drop of water.
It was just one way in which nature brings me to the reality of the wonder of God’s creation. Just as we praise the God of our Redemption, Jesus Christ, and the God of our Sanctification, The Holy Spirit, so also, we praise and worship the God of Creation, God the Father.
Look out the window. What do you see? If you can see a tree, a blade of grass, or even if you can only see the sky as God’s only creation, then rejoice! God has given us many complex, yet simple gifts in the world around us. This is one thing to be thankful for. Again I say rejoice!
Peace,
Ann
