Praising Our Awesome God

Yesterday morning the sun was shinning and it was a beautiful late fall day here in Northern Maine.  I took some pictures as I was walking around outside in my yard.  I found a robin, but he flew away before I could get a descent picture.

A little while later I took my camera inside and then I came back outside to do some snowshoeing around the yard.  It was a nice day to do it.  Since the Romaine lettuce recall I have been eating ice cream instead of salad so I figured I probably get some exercise and burn off the calories.  

If you have read my blog for a while you probably know what usually happens when I go snowshoeing and yes I did end up on the ground a few times from tripping and falling.  On one lap around the yard I looked up and saw an amazing sight.  I saw a rather large bird that I had not seen around my yard before.  He was soaring over the tree tops.  I turned to my head and body to get a better look and as I did I tripped over my snowshoes landing firmly on my back looking straight up into the sky.  It was rather comfortable laying there in the snow although it got kind of cold real fast.  I had several warm layers on thankfully.  I did get a very good view of the bird that was flying over head.  I am not sure what kind of bird it was and I wish I had my camera with me at that time because it would have been a great picture.

I was able to get myself back up on my feet thankfully and I continued my snowshoeing adventure around the yard.  That little experience got me thinking how awesome God is and how wonderful His creation is.  Sometimes we take Him and everything He has made for granted.

Sometimes we get so negative and bitter because of all the wicked things happening in our world these days.  We can become sour and ruin our witness for the Lord Jesus if we are not careful.  We believers in Christ need to be thankful for all the Lord had blessed us with and we should be filled with joy because of who He is.  God is awesome and He loves us.  That ought to make us want to rejoice and praise His Holy Name.  We need not go around being hopeless for we have a true living hope in the Lord Jesus Christ.



Lord,
Thank You for the beauty of Your creation.
We rejoice in who You are O Lord.
Thank You for loving us so very much.
Come soon Lord Jesus.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
