DeacPost “Fleeting Beauty”

The mighty one, God the Lord, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting. Psalm 50:1

I have started a sort of picture collection of sunsets. The drive home from work is made more enjoyable by frequently sighting beautiful sunsets. But that one that stands out for me was the weekend of the purple and pink sunset.

My husband was driving when suddenly it shone between the trees – beautiful, unusual, different from those with orange tones. Alas, before we found another clearing in order to pull over and get the perfect photograph, the sunset was gone.

Prayer:  Lord, you put so much beauty in our lives, yet, sometimes sighting the beauty through which you shine can be fleeting. Help us to recognize it when it comes upon us, to take each opportunity to see and appreciate that you are there, and to use that vision to help create beauty for others. Amen
