As I sat on some rock formations yesterday at Cave Point, on the Lake Michigan side of Door County, WI, I started singing "How Great Thou Art" in my head. What a beautiful place, which I have been to three times now, including last summer. From where I sat, I could watch my wife and children playing in the cold waves that were crashing up on the shore, on a very cool, breezy last day of June. From that spot I could also look straight out onto the horizon, panning left, then right, seeing from one corner of the world to another, seemingly. The birds were singing, the trees and plants a mixture of countless shades of green, yellows and blue local wildflowers spotting the ground. There was just enough clouds to spot the sky over the waters to make it look like someone had just painted it there. I found myself wishing I had a palatte and canvas at that moment. But someone had painted that sky....God had. This is the Day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. My mother in law thought that rain had ruined or was going to ruin the whole day. But I think it gave a little substance and flavor to our Door County outing. And in addition, I think it brought everything a little more to life.
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee, HOW GREAT THOU ART!
Lord God, thank you for your awesome creation, and help us to enjoy it as I did yesterday.
Thank you for reading, and God bless your enjoyment of His creation!
