Wow!

I usually don't post back to back like this, as you may know. But, I just interrupted writing the last post to spend about a half an hour on my veranda watching the sunset. Wow! I couldn't actually see the sun because a building is right in the way. But, I could see the effects of the sunset on the rest of the sky! I haven't seen such a beautiful sunset since last summer at Lake Herman State Park. After watching for about 10 minutes I decided I needed my camera. I am no expert photographer and just have a regular little digital camera so the pictures aren't spectacular, but here is my attempt at capturing the Osaka sunset...













It was fun to be standing outside and to hear people's reactions as they came out of their doors or off the elevator and saw the sky. At least one other person was taking pictures and talking with his little girls about the colors they saw.

As I watched the sky become more and more beautiful I thought about life and the Son. While we are on this earth we cannot see the Son. But, we can see the effects of Him. Oh, how I want to live a life that reflects the beauty of my Savior! I want the effect of having Him in my life to be such that people say "Wow!" when they interact with me, that people see His beauty in me when they see me. Oh Lord, let it be so in my life!
