Yesterday was another perfect day in paradise. I love Sundays with my church family. Having lunch together after service blesses me in abundance. Spending the afternoon outside in God's creation was another blessing in the day. Ending the afternoon with seeing sunset and collecting shells for craft projects was the 'icing on the cake' for the day. Burrr....by the time the sun went down it was cold but such fun. Last night the colors of the shells were magnificent. Normally speaking they are white/beige but last night the beach was full of blacks, blues, purples, pinks...so beautiful! I can't wait to make things with them. As you pick them up you think 'oh that is so pretty and would work on a mirror, a picture, an ornament, etc.' It is so hard to not bring them all home. LOL! As I collect them, I think about how God makes the seashells unique just as He makes us unique. He gives them all different characteristics just as He does with us. The same can be said about the sunset. He crafts it to be different each night. The beauty found in His creation is in the eye of the beholder. Some people may not enjoy sunsets, walks on the beach, etc. as much as I do. It may be boring to them but not to me. Every walk on the beach is a different experience than the one before. Every seashell I pick up is different than the one before. God is such a magnificent Creator! Third Day sings a song called "King of Glory" that blesses me in abundance.
The Lord of earth and heaven, the Creator of all things...He is the King of Glory, He's everything to me...
Yes! He is Everything to me! He blesses me in abundance each and every day. No matter if I am on the mountaintop or down in the valley He is with me. The 'junk' of live is easier to get through because of Him. Woo hoo!
