2013/11 What a Wonderful Word

It was uncommonly cold in So Cal today. It's rare that the day time temperature doesn't hit the 60's. Today it barely reached 58 degrees. But the skies were blue and the sun was bright which made for another beautiful January day. 

Still I was taken aback as I headed east towards my aunt's house this afternoon by the vast mountain terrain with snow topped tips. In the distance puffy clouds billowed above the caps. I was filled with such thankfulness to be alive and see such a sight. I immediately burst into simultaneous laugher and tears. I felt so alive and grateful to be there. Thank you, Lord, thank you, Lord, I whispered while both crying and laughing. 

I would have kept driving, but I was on my way to visit my aunt so I didn't even stop to take a picture of such a glorious sight. It wouldn't have mattered, there is no way a camera could do it justice.

Instead here's a different picture of the glory of God.
