Today I am thankful for: rain!, a good day in 2nd grade at church, my hubby, a good nap, yummy, warm food on such a cool day, kiddos eating a good dinner, soft & warm clothes to lounge in, ibuprofen for headaches (me!) and fevers (Dman!), joy in the Lord!
I am overwhelmed by God's glory! I suppose I get tired of "perfect" SoCal weather. :o) Sunshine is lovely, blue-sky days are endless, but it can get a bit boring. I think that's why I enjoy rain, clouds, cold weather. It's just another expression of the awesome power and greatness of God! Sometimes I think we take our good weather for granted and we get so used to it we begin to be blinded to the glory of God all around us. It's kind of like the Israelites must have felt in days of old--they were so blessed by God they would take Him for granted, forget their need, and move to idols or something different. I get so used to sunshine and warmth that I can easily fail to see the blessing and glory around me and take it for granted. Having a weather change lets me see another "face" of God; a blessing of a different sort, a "new" power or awesomeness my God displays. It's so cool! To be honest, I think every single day finds me praising the Lord for His creation, but it sure is joyful to see something different. God's creation is limitless, so I love witnessing different aspects, either with travel, weather, changes, new seasons...it's all amazing! God is definitely great and greatly to be praised!
Psalm 145:3 "Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and His greatness is unsearchable."
