It was almost intoxicating as I
took in the magnificent beauty God had laid before for us. We hiked up an easy trail that was bursting
with things I hold dear. I stopped often
along the way taking pictures of beautiful wild flowers, delicate ferns, odd
mushrooms, soft green moss, unusual lichen, a cave tucked away into huge boulders,
trickling natural springs... I paused to
soak in the prelude of color that was beginning to sweep thru the
mountains. Such beauty that our Creator
spoke into existence. And I was amazed
with all I was blessed to see.
It was dark as we drove along the
parkway on our way home. Hubs pulled
over onto an overlook and said ‘let’s see the stars’. As I got out of the car, it was totally dark,
not a single light to be seen, high above anything that could block our view. I mean total darkness. As I looked up at the dazzling, spectacular
sky spread above me, I could hardly speak.
There were trillions of brilliant, twinkling stars across the wide canopy
of sky above us, around us, just for us, at that moment in time. It was mesmerizing as I turned around and
around and then leaned against the car.
All I could say was, ‘and He knows the names of each and every one’. And I was amazed with all I was blessed to
see.
Then God said, “Let lights appear in the sky to separate the
day from the night. Let them be signs to mark the seasons, days, and years. Let
these lights in the sky shine down on the earth.” And that is what happened. God
made two great lights—the larger one to govern the day, and the smaller one to
govern the night. He also made the stars. God set these lights in the sky
to light the earth, to govern the day and night, and to separate the light
from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:14-18 NLT
