Springtime in the Rockies...

No matter where you live there is something special about the creation around you.  You may have to look past some concrete and steel to find it, but if you really look you will see the hand of God.  I just happen to be fortunate enough to live in a place where I don't have to look very far.  And it is never more evident than...

Springtime in the Rockies

Waking up this morning

Looking to the west

The view never gets old to me

A scene so picturesque

It’s springtime in the Rockies

And it’s glorious and grand

The beauty of creation

The work of God’s own hand

From the snow capped peaks above

To the columbine in bloom

Flowers and trees so varied

It’s nature’s own perfume

Then when the sun begins to set

The blues and orange cascade

Into wonders that I can’t quite express

It’s twilight on parade

They say that if God doesn’t live here

He surely spends lots of His time

Right here in Colorado

That’s why this little rhyme

That I may never take for granted

And with grateful praises sing

For the gifts my Father’s given

And for the Rocky Mountain spring

Ps 19:1

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

I will never understand how anyone can look at all of the intricacies of creation, from the grand scale of the universe to the smallest scale of the sub-cellular, and say there is no God.  No one would ever look at a Rolex watch and assume that it somehow just appeared or evolved out of a pile of metal and plastic.  Yet there are those who will examine the world around them and not see that there must be a Creator.  I am thankful to live in Colorado where some of God’s most beautiful scenery is so readily available.
