The Sunset I Almost Did Not Catch
Author: siggyIt was a sunset I almost did not catch. Bountifully gloriously streaked red covered a major part of the sky–the view I caught from my office window. I was awed by the sky’s beauty over the tree tops and my breath was temporarily taken away.
I excitedly called my wife away from her computer to view the sight. She ran for her camera and sought to capture the beauty of the sunset on the camera she was just learning to use, taking picture after picture.
A mere five minutes later the sky became gray. I almost missed this display of God’s finest tapestry. Such beauty! How many other sunsets have I missed because my attention was elsewhere.
Each sunset, each dawn is different each day as if The Lord splashes his colors using different paints each time never to be seen again. We should be so careless and free with our talents.
He, of course, is infinite. And only sometimes do we even get even an inkling of his expanse. Our world too quickly constricts. And then we have to wait for His next moment always there. Let’s consider it serendipity. He is never far away.
