beauty

The splendor of a spider's web covered in gentle morning dew - each strand dazzling in the glorious warmth of the sun.

The brilliance of a river as it carves into the channeling rocks - each advance silently freeing the forceful water.

The sensation of a gentle breeze as it playfully dances with the leaves - each movement entwined with another.

The aroma of a single rose as it stands firmly planted among the thorns- each petal glistening as a sweet mist envelops it.

The radiance of a rainbow during an angry storm - each color brilliantly echoing the promises of long ago.

The Lord is magnificent; he is infinite and unfathomable. The glory of his majesty is omnipresent. I was reminded of this as I witnessed a double rainbow...twice in two days. The smaller of the two, bright and bold - making a statement. It was wider than normal (both times), an intense array of reds, oranges, yellows, greens, blues, and violets, a second ring of the last three tagged on the original arc. The larger, yet fainter rainbow swept across the sky in paralleled beauty. God is amazing isn't he? He has blessed us more than we can imagine.
