Cotton Candy

Day 32 Doxology:  Today offers an orchestra of "praise God" moments.  Although they seemed different, after a period of thought it dawned on me that there was a connective thread than ran through the highlights of my day.

Tonight was our church's night to pack bags at our local elementary school for a ministry called Blessings in a Backpack.  It's always fun, and our church does a great job turning out in huge support.  After our time of packing and delivering the bags to each classroom, Shannon and I headed home.

On the way, J-1 called from her spring break trip to south Florida.  She was bragging about her trip to the beach for a sunset doxology of her own.  Her mom asked for a viewing, and technology didn't disappoint.
 

While on the phone, our trip home went from cloudy to clear, and just as we were escaping the clouds we could begin to see the most amazing sunset of our own.  Shannon immediately snapped a picture for both you and J-1.

I started to think...how amazing is it that both J-1 and Shannon and I could be connected to God and God's creation at the same moment even though we were separated by so many miles.  How vast is God's reach. The Psalmist tells us that in terms of God's graciousness toward us our sins are removed as far as the east is from the west. That covers a lot of ground -Thanks Be To God!

My thoughts didn't end there.  The reason we were on the road to begin with was because of our work beside so many others from our church with the Blessings in a Backpack ministry.  It was yet another testimony and praise of witnessing God's creation just as we had witnessed the beautiful sunsets together.

J-1 said the sky looks like cotton candy.  I say she's right.  Both skies looked like cotton candy, but seeing my church family praise God with their hard work is just as sweet as cotton candy!  It makes for a well-rounded doxology day. Thanks Be To God!
