Faithful Artist

You meticulously and brush the sky with the stroke of your paint brush.  You do this with intention.  You place the clouds in the right place so they can highlight the colors you choose to light you the sky with.  You have colors in your paint palette that we don’t even know exist.  You choose to paint the sky each morning and evening.  You delight as you watch your creation as an artist when light dances across the sky with each sunrise and sunset unique in its own way.  No single one is the same!  You love when we stop and marvel at your masterpiece that you create. 

When we choose to marvel the painted sky, we are reminded of you, the Creator, who does this faithfully every day without fail.  If you are faithful in something like the sunset or sunrise, then how much more faithful will you be for me? I was created in your image.  And you delight when I trust you, my Creator, to provide for me faithfully in every moment.  So I can choose trust you in your promises because you are faithful.

My Christmas Morning Tradition

A few years ago, I started a tradition for me on Christmas morning.  My tradition is to go into nature on Christmas morning and take pictures.  I love it because there is a stillness and peace.  It’s like the world is still asleep.  There are few cars on the road.  And when you are out in nature you hear can hear the world around you.  Sometimes it is the crunch of dried leaves as you step on them or the bird that is singing in the woods.  Funny story – The first year I did this, I was at Chambers Lake at Hibernia Park where there was a beautiful fog that blanketed the lake.  While I was standing there looking at the lake, I hear someone say “hello” a few times.  I look around and did not see anyone.  As I was about to answer this person, they continue on in their conversation.  I then realized that they were on the phone.

The things you see are amazing.  You see things that you normally are too busy to look for.  The frost on the detail of leaves or the design of bark on a tree or fog nestled between the trees.

These are the photos from my 2019 Christmas morning photoshoot at Brubaker Park in East Earl, PA.
