Winter Sunrise

I got out of my warm bed this morning, and padded out to the living room.  I turned up the heat, grabbed a blanket and intended to snuggle up on the couch until Kamryn arrived.

The view out my windows caught my attention instead.

It's amazing how it can change in just a few moments.

As I write it's already faded to where if I'd just gotten up, it wouldn't have caught my eye.


Psalm 8

O Lord, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth,
Who have set Your glory above the heavens!

2 Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have ordained strength,
Because of Your enemies,
That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
4 What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You visit him?
5 For You have made him a little lower than the angels,[b]
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.

6 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet,
7 All sheep and oxen—
Even the beasts of the field,
8 The birds of the air,
And the fish of the sea
That pass through the paths of the seas.

9 O Lord, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth!

I'm thankful to have woken up earlier than I normally do.  Thankful to have caught the beauty of this winter morning sunrise.  Thankful to know the ONE who created it all and holds it in His hands.
