These pictures remind me of God.. God reaching down and touching us with His handiwork..He is an artist.. He creates a beautiful world so He can take our breath away. His creation is a place for us..a mini-retreat for us.. open the front door and take a look. The sky is so blue..the grass is so green.. the sounds of birds are everywhere. The flowers are beginning to bloom. Spring is here and He is doing His redemptive work in our lives and in this fallen world. 
“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!”

Hi Alicia,
What gorgeous photographs and at such an appropriate time for me. They’re a gift from the Lord himself. My dear friend just went home to be with the Lord, and we were, as she used to say, “cloud nerds” always looking up at His handiwork. This is such a beautiful reminder to me of just one of the many things we shared.
Blessings to you,
Sarah
Sarah.. I feel like I put those up for you! I was out walking in the valley and came home knowing that I had to post some of the pictures I took earlier this year. God seemed to be reminding me that there is a place where heaven and earth meet..a sweet place where we hardly know the difference..where the path to eternity is almost visible..
I am so sorry for your loss and I pray that God will do wrap His arms around you as you miss your friend..
love,
Alicia
I’m very much a ‘cloud nerd’ myself! I have always loved looking at them and photographing them too now and again.
Yes, Creation can be a marvel to behold!
There is nothing like clouds to lift my spirits .. God’s fingerprints are all over them!
