Dear Lord; Happy Wednesday Father!<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes I arrive just when God’s ready to have someone click the shutter.\u201d \u2013 Ansel Adams<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

As You know Father, over the past several months I\u2019ve been spending a good bit of my leisure time working on improving my photography skills.\u00a0 As part of that effort, the last couple Saturdays I\u2019ve awoken in the pre-dawn hours and headed out to a local shoreline on the Delaware Bay in an attempt to capture the inherent beauty that those moments of sunrise bring.<\/p>\n

And while the initial intent of those outings was simply to further my artistic pursuits Father, it quickly became apparent that I wasn\u2019t there alone in that serene stillness\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cBe still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.\u201d \u2013 Psalms 46:10 (NLT)<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Surrounded by the beauty and peace of Your creation Lord, I shared those precious moments with You and was blessed to capture some of that wonder through my lens\u2026<\/p>\n

Thank You Father.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Thank You for allowing me to share in those wonderful moments with You, and for the breathtaking beauty of the world You\u2019ve given us.<\/p>\n

For it\u2019s in Your precious name I pray,<\/p>\n

Amen.<\/p>\n
