God's Gift of Natural Art and Beauty





Good Morning Family...
So on the drive in to work this morning...I was gazing at the sky...remembering that the awesome blue and lightly colored yellows and oranges of the 6 am sunrise was painted by our father. I was thinking as I drove by the huge, lush trees of San Marino and glanced at the natural landscapes///how awesome is it to have such a creative father...a creator of such perfection...one who is constantly at work...perfecting everyday we see. I was thinking about the beaches I've visited this summer...the mountains Ive hiked...and the parks Ive seen...it's all God's gifts of his art work. Thoughts such as these...bring me joy..smiles..and warmth...because I see God for who he is....an artist. I am grateful to have such a merciful God...a God that allows his children to live in the light..to live amongst the beauty he has placed together piece by piece. 
I share these thoughts to remind us all that God is amazing...our Lord is perfect...and our father gives the tiniest gifts everyday..that if we get too wrapped up in our daily lives full of work, essays, sports, pay checks, media, and the like....we can miss the opportunity to appreciate those precious things he wants us to experience. So this morning or the next....my awesome familia...gaze outside and hear the birds chirp, see the trees sway, look at the clouds in the sky passing by and know that that perfect picture was painted specifically for YOU. God loves us and it's evident when we look a lil deeper into our own surroundings : )
Have a great day with the Lord
Mad Love:

Thanks for sharing your heart Ejay. I feel the same way about where true creativity comes from. We could paint and imitate what we see but God has created it all. We have such a wonderful designer and creative creator. Truly inspiring! :]
