Floodgates of Heaven

We had such a storm in these parts last night! It was the longest most spectacular lightening storm I have ever seen. Put to shame the best display of fireworks! Then, as the saying goes, God opened the floodgates of heaven. It poured so hard, that it made me think of how powerful God is AND how awesome His creation of the water cycle.

Have you ever really contemplated how awesome water is? It can be used to soothe or destroy. It can exist in multiple states (solid, liquid, or gas) and it can be used to cool or to heat. How many other things do you know of that are so valuable and so diverse in attributes? Most importantly, water sustains our lives since we are made up of more than 60% water!

As I considered all of this, I prayed for my husband's safe travels as he made his 41/2 hour drive back to work in that storm! It made me fondly remember a recent trip we made and the wonderful time we had at the Tahquamenon Falls. Images like this one make me appreciate God's creation. If not for the wonderful cycle of water that He created, we would never behold such a beautiful site.
