There It Is!

It was there for all of us to see.  If you were outside on Sunday you would have noticed it was a cloudless day. Everything seemed to be absolutely perfect, weather wise that is. Lots of sun, warm late summer temperature and this impeccable weather seemed to make everyone smile.  But there was more for us to see.  If you ventured outside after dark you would have had another amazing opportunity to see nature at its bests.  Out there in the cloudless sky we were given opportunity to appreciate an almost perfect full moon. Yes, it rose early in the evening, bigger than life, coming out of the east for those who enjoy the evening or thinks of themselves as night owls. Its glow bathed the whole world in its reflective light. Perfect.

There was more. Early birds also had opportunity to see its beauty. It stayed high in the sky all night long only disappearing below the western horizon as the faint glimmer of the sun began to show itself far off in the east. I’m not a science person by any stretch of the imagination but I do love to watch nature. Not just in the sun and the moon but also in things like watching as a field of Saskatchewan sunflowers turn their heads as they follow the sun through the day. Or to notice snails moving slowly along the dew drenched corners of our garden.

All of these things and more than we could ever know or experience or imagine have been put in place by an amazing creator God.  He is the one who orchestrates not only the creation of a flower but puts within it the power to open and show its beauty. He placed the sun and the moon in the sky along with all the starry hosts. Don’t tell anyone but He also created mosquitos.

His whole creation was so beautiful, in His infinite wisdom; He knew He couldn’t keep it to Himself. Even today, this far removed from creation, we are still finding new and amazing things He created that up until now, we have yet to see or experience.  I believe He wanted to share it so He made the ultimate creation, us.  We were created to see all that He could do. I believe part of this creation, just like the power in a rose bud, is the heart in us that opens to see God in everything, including in each other.  

And that is something to think about.
