On the last day of our time in the Rockies we saw God. We saw him in the golden Aspens.
And on the misty mountains.
He stood with us on the overlooks peering into the valleys.
He smiled at the tenacity of a tree bravely growing out of solid rock.
And He made swirls in the rocks and the snow.
He spread both arms wide saying all this I made for you.
He spread both arms wide saying all this I made for you.
From the frozen lakes...
to the greens and yellows....
and the azure sky.
He showed us the gentle slopes
and the mass of color
set atop trunks of white and gray.
He gave us breathtaking views as we drove.
He laughed at the playful trout,
and chuckled at the ones who patiently lay in the current waiting for food to come to them.
They thought they were hiding, but He saw them.
He rested by the lakes,
and He walked in the grass.
He looked at His creation and said "It is good."

Beautiful post Marlene. I think joy comes when you are able to see God in everything that surrounds you. From the smallest to the largest. I just love all that He has blessed us with.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures and thank you for the reminder that we have a majestic God. My more recent grandson is an "Eli" too, hope your Eli is doing well.
ReplyDeleteIt is good! Thanks for sharing, what a treat!
ReplyDeleteOh Marlene, it's all soooo beautiful!! I'm so glad you shared these pictures with us! Have a safe trip!
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks for all these...God is the Ultimate Artist and Quilter!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. Yes, I am closer to God in nature. Just watching the National Park series last week, I wondered to myself, how anyone could doubt the presence of the Creator when they view His wonders.

Beautiful!! Thanks for the tour! C
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful is that?! Take my breath away! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSee, I knew that the Colorado Rockies wouldn't go away or change so much that I wouldn't recognize them. Amazing pictures you shared with us. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAnd as for Baby Eli, prayer is something we should offer first. HE never makes mistakes. HE has a purpose for this little one that will be revealed when the time is right. No. Strike that. When the time is perfect. I will pray. And the Holy Spirit will understand by delivering and translating my/our meager prayers into his care. Blessings on you and your whole family.
How beautiful! I wish everyone could see Him in His wonderful creations like that! I loved this post!
