Sunrise, Sunset!

I read this beautiful verse of poetry this morning in my Bible:

"You make the outgoings of the morning and evening rejoice...." Psalm 65:8b

It may have another meaning, but I took this to be a beautiful description of the sunrises and sunsets. The morning and evening rejoicing. Isn't that a breathtaking picture? How blessed I am that we have "big sky" at our land and an uninhibited view of the sunset each day! :) Since Gracie was very little she and I have a tradition of stopping our work in the evening just long enough to go out on the porch and "Look at the sun-set God made". I am ever more and more astounded at the Master Artist's imagination. Here are some pictures of the beautiful skies we are treated to regularly:


A rather ominous, but beautiful sunset after a storm


This is one of my favorites :)


And another view of the same. Aren't the colors stunning?


This reminds me of some Serengeti Plains picture! ;) Or a pink-lemonade sky! :)


And I love this last picture. So regal and gold and blue! :)
Isn't God's handiwork amazing? ~Rachel

  1. Oh wow, that last one is stunning!!! How great is our God! :-) I love sunrises and sunsets too...I remember, the most beautiful sunrise I have ever seen was when I was driving early in the morning to go visit some dear friends a couple hours away...I wish I had taken a picture! Alas. :-)

    Blessings,

  2. Oh, they are simply stunning. We are blessed to have beautiful sunsets out our window (no sitting on the porch here!), and I never, ever tire of them. How often we quote, 'The heavens declare the glory of God, and the skies preach His handiwork' (Psalm 19)

    He truly is a God of beauty, of wonder, of artistry. No sign of chaos there!
