As the sun set in the west yesterday evening, our sky filled with awe inspiring beauty. The weather changed so rapidly in a way we weren't expecting... Thankfully we were home to take it all in. What an amazing witness to God's power and design it was. He truly is the Great Architect of all creation.
Fluffy cumulus clouds in the distance to the east.
A few minutes later the sky turned all golden...
A beautiful rainbow to the east! We were so surprised, we never heard it rain outdoors.
Our western sky changed so dramatically... The clouds became stormy and rusty colored where only minutes before bright yellow sunlight was filtering through the clouds.
Beautiful pink cloud formations behind a tall hickory tree... This one still bears the marks of the ice storm of 1991, when it must have been a very young tree.
The intense fury of pink, stormy clouds were carried away by the wind in time for us to see the peaceful calm of a quiet, gentle blue sky. What a way to end a rainy late winter day!
Close up of the moon... So far away yet from a camera lens it seems so near to us. And to think the God of all creation loves us and wants us to have a walk with Him, now and for all eternity through His Son Jesus Christ. What a wonderful Father we have! Did you ever stop to think how He created the moon to hang up there in the heavens just to light our nights and help us keep track of time? How loved and how blessed we are! :) I was just reading this in Genesis the other day and it all dawned on me...
And God said, let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth. Genesis 1:14-16
