WELCOME TO MY BLOG! Thank you for coming. I know you are busy and have lots to do. My mind has so many things racing around inside - I want to paint, to sew, to scrapbook and to bake. Sometimes the "necessary" preempts the fun stuff. I do know this - when I choose to pray and read God's Word EVERY day, I am content. "Delight yourself in the LORD, and HE will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4

Riding the Train

I love to ride the train for many reasons.  Usually only another train lover understands.  Where I live you must depart or arrive on a train in the wee hours of the morning.

Not a great selling point for someone who regards train travel as an inconvenience.

This morning I tucked myself into my little bed in the room on the train at 2:46 AM as we pulled out of the station.  As the train rolled into the darkness I watched through my window while stars swirled and rotated in the dark sky as the rails on the ground curved through the sparsely inhabited areas.

All I could see were treetops and millions of stars.  All?  What magnificence. 

"He determines the number of the stars.  He gives to all of them their names."  Psalm 147:4

All of them.

It's so easy to see God's fingerprints all over nature!! His creation is indicative of His awesomeness and majesty...I feel like the biggest, most descriptive words I could come up with simply pale in comparison to His great glory!
