No doubt about it, we have problems. But the God who created us also restores us if we but take a moment. He sends us beauty all around. Here is a picture I took just last night at a nearby lake. The ice is beginning to melt…My problems seemed to dissolve right along with the ice as I witnessed God’s beauty. God bless!

Hanging low in golden skies

The sun is falling before my eyes

Suspended somewhere far away

Ushering out another day

Gently closing the curtains of light

And pulling closed the ones of night

Velvet shades of midnight blue

Indicating the day is through

God grants us darkness after light

So we can rest from our daily plight

He gives us beauty to restore

The worries the world leaves at our door

If we don’t stop and take it in

Then how can we begin again

To deal with problems heaped up high

Never higher than the sky!
