Genesis 1: 16-19<\/p>\n

God made the two great lights, the greater one to govern the day, and the lesser one to govern the night;\u00a0 and he made the stars.\u00a0 God set them in the dome of the sky to shed light upon the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness.\u00a0 God saw how good it was.\u00a0 Evening came, and morning followed-the fourth day.<\/em><\/p>\n

Everyone that knows me realizes how much I love sunsets.\u00a0 My favorite color is the sky after the sun has gone down, the oranges, pinks and pale purple colors all mixed up in the great sky.\u00a0 Anyone who has ever run with me knows how I adore watching the sunrise.\u00a0 Morning is wonderful it is a new beginning for each one of us.\u00a0 Whatever happened yesterday is gone and now we get to start fresh again.\u00a0 When was the last time you watched a sunrise?\u00a0 When was the last time you took the time to sit and watch the sunset?\u00a0 Have you ever shared that part of nature with your child?\u00a0\u00a0My children color and paint pictures for me, what child doesn’t do that for his\/her mom?\u00a0 They love to color the sunset for me and pictures of nature, those pictures are so special to me because they are trying to please me with what I love the best, unaware that I love them more than anything they could ever paint.\u00a0(The picture I have posted Spencer my 6 year old painted for me\u00a0yesterday).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Have you ever watched the stars come out with your child?\u00a0 Summer is the perfect time to experience nature with your child.\u00a0 Our children want to see through our eyes.\u00a0 Tonight set aside a little bit of time maybe 30 minutes to watch the sunset with your child.\u00a0 In Louisville Ky it will set at 9:05 pm tonight.\u00a0 Look at the colors in the sky.\u00a0 Watch the fireflies come out and actually run around like you did when you were a child and catch a few with your child.\u00a0 If you can do it watch the stars come out with your child.\u00a0 Your probably thinking but I have to get him\/her to bed that’s just too late.\u00a0 Is it really too late to \u00a0share a time with him\/her that could make a memory forever with your child?\u00a0 It’s summer time, give your child the gift of wonder and experience it with him\/her.\u00a0 You will make a memory that will last your lifetime. There will come a time when your child is too old to want to do these things with you, do it now while he\/she still wants to be with you.<\/p>\n

God created all the nature we witness on a daily basis.\u00a0 How often do we just think that sunrise is getting in our eyes and we need to look away from it.\u00a0 How often do we listen to the birds or do we think listen to that noise!\u00a0 Nature is one of the most calming elements of this world.\u00a0 Nature is a direct connection to God.\u00a0 Tonight or this evening take the time to make that connection with your child.\u00a0 Tell he\/she that God made it all for him\/her to appreciate and have a little fun playing in the yard catching fireflies and watching the colors and being thankful that you have that child to teach and to love.\u00a0 Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
