Amazing

Our days are getting shorter, so when we leave for school in the morning, it is still dark.  The positive side to this is that the kids and I get to see the sunrise each morning.  Yesterday was one of those mornings where God's orchestration of creation was perfect.  The sunrise began with deep hues of purples, turning into hints of pink.  Everything against its backdrop was silhouetted.  Very soon, the horizon turned to gold.  At that moment, hundreds - maybe even thousands- of birds flew up from the cornfields, spanning as far as we could see.  This moment commanded silence within the van and Honey Bunches leaned over to turn the radio off without being instructed.  All of us just watched in pure amazement.  Eventually the silence broke and Gummi said that was one of the prettiest things she has ever seen.  To make the morning even more perfect, was attending the all school Mass.  The offertory song was "Amazing God."  Tears began to stream down my face as we sang,

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God

God's grace in its finest.
