Beauty in the sky

This evening things really cleared up and the sky and mountains were crystal clear. It is always a joy to have such clarity in the weather, because it never lasts for very long. Living on the equator we don't have sunsets that are very good, but tonight the colors in the sky were very striking. I know not everyone has interest in the created world, but I am continually in awe of the art that God makes every moment of every day in the ordinary mundane around us. Whether it is something like a sunset or the way light glimmers off of leaves, I feel God does this almost as a gift to us. He doesn't need to do it to impress himself, he is trying to capture our attention and admiration.
