Lift up your eyes ...

i once read that it takes more faith to believe that there is no God ... than to believe that there is One ... God's handiwork, displayed in nature, is just so awesome!  it speaks in CAPITOL letters of it's Creator God ... somedays i could weep for all the wonder i see ... just in my own backyard ... only a fool would think that this "just happened by chance" ...


last week, i took a picture at our town beach ... just a teenie little patch of sand, with a very ordinary river lapping at its edges ... yet the everyday beauty of it, was just breathtaking to me ... see if you agree when you look at that pic i've posted below ...


for you who read this post - may our amazing Creator God give you a day full of bounty and joy in all you see and do!

Dear Saija,
you are living in a perfect Finnish/Canadian landscape.
The beauty of the water mirroring the sky is breath taking.
Jesus said, "They shall hear and not hear, see, but not see."

Let's pray that more and more are being awakened and seeing once again.
Hugs for you, Leo and the cat from Felisol

Lovely words, lovely photo - awesome is the word, because really your words and photo inspire awe in me. To worship God anew. And to thank Him that He's my God, and my Deliverer.

The photo up on your header is so beautiful as well. You should have a book of all the photographs you have taken, dear Saija.

Love
Lidj

Your photography of God's handiwork is beautiful, it's hard to realize that some people can look at it, but not see it.
I can get lost in His majesty when I see all that He has created...sometimes it just takes my breath away!

To not see Him in each sunset, snowflake, ... His very breath and fingerprints are everywhere. Oh, how sad for the unbelievers to wander and miss the wonder! Hugs .. from the North Woods ... south of you:)

Hi Saija, God bless you for this post

Sandy said...

Oh, I receive His full bounty
and joy! What a blessing!
I, too, am amazed that anyone
could view His awesome handi-
work and not be a believer.
All your pictures are lovely.
Blessings,
Sandy
