To enjoy Him forever

I try my best to spend some time each day pointing out the beauty in God's creation to my children. God's a pretty big abstract concept for the two-and-under set, so what better way to illustrate how awesome He is than by showing them something awesome He made? Especially now, when Abby is soaking in so much knowledge, I'd like to make sure she's got a pretty firm foundation of Who made the world and all that's in it on which to build her world view.

This morning, God made it easy for me. We woke up to this glorious sunrise, the likes of which make it pretty impossible not to acknowledge our all-powerful Creator of the universe. Abby loves sunrises and sunsets, and we always remind her as she admires them that God made them, and he made them for her to enjoy. But we've never seen one quite like this.

This morning I brought her to the window and said, "Guess what God made for you this morning?" Her answer brought a smile to my face as she peered through the glass.

"God made a pink sunrise for Abby!" she exclaimed, certain that He made it just for her to enjoy, like we've told her time and time again.

Thank you, Father, for teachable moments like these. Thanks for reminding me of how great you are, and for giving me the opportunity to teach your truth to my children. Thank you for being a personal God who loves us individually. Thanks for knowing and loving my daughter better than me, and for loving her so much on this morning that you gave her her very own pink sunrise to enjoy.
