As we gather for dinner each night at our retreat house this time of year, we are stunned to see the sunlight splay through the tree branches as it gets ready to set. The light seems magical. The green grass and the young green shoots on the trees appear juicy. We are mesmerized as we gaze out into the lawn. We don't deserve this goodness, but we are gracious recipients of this gift. Everything is coming alive. It reminds us of God's plan to bring all things to LIFE!
The moon tonight is a lightly gray, perfect orb in the sky with a shimmering glint on the bottom right side. The radiance that emits from that sliver excites us. It is such a marvel to behold. The whole moon is visible, but as a distinct and clear shadow. In ancient times the moon was another light source, but our modern world has minimized its effect on us. The solar world dominates, but the moon still fascinates. I enjoy just looking up into the heavens - day and night - and being thrilled by God's gifts to us. The beauty of this world fills me with wonder. I want to keep this feeling with me all the time.
