All Creation Glorifies God

Hello!
  Dear gracious and faithful followers,

both my husband and I 

would like to thank you for your

sweet and precious Anniversary wishes

that you sent our way.

Our hearts were blessed by your love and kindness.
 For some of you, welcome as new followers,
and thank you for your wishes too.

All creation glorifies God!

For our wedding Anniversary, my husband and I

took a few days and spent time

surrounded by God's amazing beauty

in some National Parks.

As we visited these parks in all their beauty,

scripture as well as certain hymns

would fall upon my heart and mind ~

you couldn't help but sing praises

to God, the Creator, with joy in your heart.

This rock formation looks like two kissing,

why she even has hair on her head and a bow on her dress

We were awe struck as we either

drove or hiked through the masses

of rock formations.

Such uniqueness with every bend 

we would come around.

"To God be the glory" 

would come forth from our lips time after time,

 it was just amazing!

We took close to 1000 pictures

and I would love to share just a small glimpse

of our beautiful get-away with you.

We started in Moab Utah on a cold and snowy day.

We thought we were heading 

into warmer weather, but God who controls

the weather treated us to some snow, hail, rain,

thunderstorms, cold winds and then some

warmth and sunshine on our last day.

Oh how easy it would have been to grumble,

but instead we saw the goodness of God.

We stayed in a warm and cozy cabin ~ sat on the heater

of the van after every wet and cold hike ~

played in the water puddles and sang in the rain ~

praising God in it all!

We chose to see the beauty in the weather, and we certainly did!

The wet weather made everything

come alive with vibrant colors.

Dead Horse Point, with the low clouds

snow/hail and thunderstorms 

was breathtaking!

The flowers and trees were vivid in color.

The rocks and arches displayed their beauty with the rain showers.

The mountains with fresh snow off in the distance

made the canyon lands all the more glorious.

The cloud cover allowed us to photo areas

that would have otherwise been washed out.

Bryce Canyon

And while hiking these were the words of my husband,

"well at least were not sweating."

Boy was he right there!

Actually, by the time we reached our cozy cabin

I was chilled to the bone.

Awww... warmth in a hot bubble bath...

Steep switch-backs as part of the hiking trail.
The switch backs were stacked like stairs
because of how steep it was.
Quite amazing!

I was reminded of Psalm 148

where all creation is to praise God.

We were surrounded by God's glory

and we couldn't help but praise His Holy Name!

~~~***~~~

"Let them praise the name of the Lord:
for his name alone is excellent;
his glory is above the earth and the heaven."
Amen.

To God be the Glory!
