Many of you know I am still basking in the glow (literally, from all the sun I got) of vacation. I was looking at some pictures I took of the sunsets and sunrises at the beach. Magnificent! Here's a sunrise pic from the beach:

So beautiful. There is something about sunrises and sunsets that just resets my body. Maybe it is the sheer beauty of them. Here in the Shenandoah Valley, we have some of the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets. An artist friend of mine once told me that they sometimes bring tears to her eyes. As an artist she can't imagine putting all those colors together and making something that beautiful. Maybe one of the things about vacation is that we take the time to look at sunrises and sunsets. In a world where we believe we are the center of the universe, they show us there is something greater than us. I am thankful that even though I am small, at the same time I'm cherished by the Creator of the universe who made those sunrises and sunsets!
I'll leave you with a couple more pics of sunsets. One more from the beach and another from the Shenandoah Valley. If you get a chance this weekend, take the time to look at a sunrise or sunset, and while you're enjoying it, thank the Lord for the beauty of His creation.

Beautiful, Staci. And I think you're right--we should stop to enjoy and give thanks for them even when we aren't on vacation.
