Day 5: Creation

I know that Creation sounds like a lofty/broad thing to be thankful for, but it is one of the many things that stand as a proclaimation of God's glory.

 When I mean creation I am speaking on basic nature that takes place every day. Such as the flowers and Sky and trees and grass and animals. It is hard for me to believe that while looking at a beautiful sunrise that you could doubt that there is a God. Or while looking at a baby animal that you could doubt his mercy and love. While living out on the farm, I have had the great pleasure of seeing a baby calf right of being born. Watching him or her take its first few steps and see the wonder in their eyes. It just is a little, small glimpse into the heart of our Father. I have no words to describe His wonder and majesty. While watching a storm roll in (which happens a lot in east texas) makes me tremble at his power. Creation is something that has been a foundation to my faith. Any day that I may have my doubts or my frustrations, all I have to do is look at the sky or out into the pasture and see green grass with goat weeds and flowers and know that God is big enough to handle anything.

So I am extremely thankful for creation and how it represents God. If you have time today, I encourage you to take a quiet moment to just enjoy one of God's intricate creations. Whether that be another person, a flower, the sky, or your pet. It is a humbling experience that deserves a moment of gratitude.
