First Day of Christmas: The Wonder of Creation
>> Wednesday, December 26, 2007 –
1st day of Christmas,
God's creation
(Taken with Dad's cellphone, because the reliable camera broke down.)
We saw the sun go down with majesty on Christmas Day, marking the beginning of Christmastide.
The chilling ocean breeze danced around us. I leaned against Daddy's shoulder, with my youngest brother holding my hand tightly.
"Why does the sun go down at night and not up?"
"Because God made it that way."
"Oh, right."
In the distance, a solitary saxophone began its song. The clear, honeyed notes treaded gently upon the crashing waves.
The golden sun melted into the silver sea, and it is impossible to be there. Feeling my youngest brother's hand in mine. Watching Mom's face beam with happiness. It's impossible to be there and not praise God for His wonder-ful creation.
"A tree grows fruit because it is a magic tree. Water runs downhill because it is bewitched. The sun shines because it is bewitched." ~ GK Chesterton
Creation is truly a wonder.

So true.
"We saw the sun go down with majesty on Christmas Day, marking the beginning of Christmastide."
Like it goes down every day, like it marks every day, but special every time.
Beautiful post.
