Sunset - Skywatch Friday

From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord's name is to be praised. --Psalm 113:3

Oh, How I love to put into verse and rhyme

Things that have been filling my mind:

A beautiful red, orange, and purple sky at night,

Fireflies twinkling, like stars in my sight,

My wonderful God, who made all these things,

And to whom His creatures sing,

The sun that shines off a window,

Turning it in color like gold from the mines.

Let God shine off the window of your heart.

Let Him place on your lips the beautiful phrase:

Not my will but Thine.

As I write these things,

With an open window before mine eyes,

I hear a bird fluttering in the trees.

I know that God made all these things,

and that to Him, the birds do sing!

I know too, that He wants me also,

To thank Him for filling my desires

And for giving me more than life requires.
