Have you ever made something and just couldn't wait for someone else to see it? Or taste it? Or use it?
Maybe your kids have made an art project or finished a craft that they just couldn't wait for you to see.
Here in our Story, days 1 through 3 have come and gone. As I think of God in the most human of terms, I'm sure he must have had a sense of accomplishment over the beauty of his creation. But at this point, he has created this wonderful backdrop and there is no one there to enjoy it.
And so we come to days 4 through 6. In the expanse of the sky, he created stars and sun and moon. In the water, in the air, and on the land he created the fish and birds and every living creature. And once again, he called his creation good.
Where do you see our Creator in nature? I'm not much of an outdoor girl. The sun can be a bit much for this light-skinned, red-haired, blue-eyed gal. Not to mention the allergies. But I do love the view of nature. One of my favorite places to sit is at my kitchen table facing the window where I can see out into my front yard. Another favorite place is anywhere in the western part of our state where I can sit in a rocking chair on a porch and look out at the grandeur of the mountains. Of course, I can sit for hours looking at and listening to the roar of the waves at the coast too.Let me encourage you today to find a place that you love that is out there somewhere. Go there and sit for a while and just soak in the beauty that God created. I am a firm believer that when we take the time to notice the beauty around us, we can feel the presence of God deeper. And we can hear him calling us back into his story.
