Our house in Dyer is in the middle of a “T” intersection with one street running parallel to our house and the other street perpendicular running directly into our driveway. Our front door faces west. As I sat on my front porch one day last week awaiting my wife’s return from running errands, the sun was beginning to set. As I saw the beauty of that sunset, I no longer saw the houses that were present on either side of the street that runs toward my home. I saw the sun setting and trees in the distance and felt like I was in the country and not on a somewhat busy city street. I only saw God’s beauty and thanked God for that wonderful sunset. I then thought about the fact that the remaining years of my life are becoming shorter. I was moved by the thought of indescribable beauty that awaits us in meeting our loving Lord in heaven and was not disturbed or afraid, just touched at what lies ahead. “Eye has not seen ear has not heard what God has in store for those who love Him”. Thank you, dear God, for the gift of that sunset and seeing you in nature.
