From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised. Psalm 113:3
“Day four found us waking up at 2:00 AM to make the 2 ½ hour trip up the winding road to the top of Mount Haleakala to an elevation of 10, 077 feet above sea level to watch the sun rise above the cloud deck. It was about 33° and a wind chill of about 10°. It was a very cool sight to see but a lot of work (and frozen shutter fingers) to get the shot but worth it.”
It seems like it has been raining for weeks…As I drove into work this morning it seems like the rain will never end. I love the rain, but when it drags on for weeks it becomes depressing. As I opened up my email this morning, the above picture came in from our friends who are vacationing in Hawaii right now. The above caption were his words about what it took to get this shot. Being a lover of Creation, I was immediately awed and just as quickly reminded that while it may look dreary on my drive in, The sun is still shining. I was also reminded that the best things in life do not come without sacrifice and sometimes a lot of work. Regardless of where I am I need to enjoy the view, because my God created it.
Give me words to speak…
