What you can’t see in this image is the snow hanging on the tree branches, as we have about 3 inches on the ground from a recent small “storm.” When you have cold branches, and the warm rays of the sun rising behind, you can see the results — a fog casting shadows. It’s a beautiful start to another day God has given us.
There is something truly special about a sunrise, especially one as dramatic as this. It fills me with hope and belief in a higher power. As believers, we understand there is more to this spinning planet. We know how it was created and how it is being cared for. We hold the promise of something greater beyond these beautiful sunrises. Until then, He blesses us with the beauty that surrounds us.
Seeing this scene reminds me of the 1848 hymn – “All Things Bright and Beautiful”
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
I can’t think of truer words. God is good and cares for each of His creations. It’s a wonderful thought to fall asleep to and even better to wake up to a beautiful sunrise the next morning.
