Grateful for Beautiful Skies

Beautiful summer sunset

Last week I heard about what Stephanie is doing this month.  She posts something every day that she is grateful for.  I love the idea and although I don't know that I'll do it every day, at least it has me thinking about all the things I have to be thankful for.

Yesterday morning as I drove home from the gym the sky was so beautiful.  It was the palest shade of pink, not the bright or golden pink that is often part of sunrise, just a soft smear of pink all across the horizon.  The snow covered mountains were still shadowy and stood out against the pastel sky.  It made me catch my breath, and then it made me remember that God is in the details of our lives, even in the beauty of a morning sky.  In that quiet moment I felt His love.  That moment gave way to the rush of the morning: rousing sleepy heads, feeding, clothing, and rushing off to Veterans Day programs.  Still, I think that moment of beauty and reverence set me up for a beautiful day.
