A Texas Sky

This weekend the ladies of our church attended a wonderful ladies retreat in Canyon Texas. We had a wonderful time as always!

Each year that I go I am struck by the beauty that surrounds us. To some people it's plain or barren, but to me it's beautiful. Rolling hills, small valleys and land that stretches on as far as the eye can see. But the thing that always gets my attention is the enormous Texas sky. Looking at the clear blue sky with wisps of white clouds a verse came to mind:

"For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us." Psalms 102:11,12

What an awesome thought that is!! God's mercy is as endless as the rolling plains of Texas!! Our sins are "as far as the east is from the west", so basically, never brought up again once we've asked God's forgiveness!! Praise the Lord!!

All creation proclaims the glory of the Lord! Look around and take in the beauty God has blessed us with and thank Him for it. Just a thought for you as you take in the sky wherever you may be!
