ONE MINUTE WITH MARLIN
When Winter comes, Lisa and I move our morning porch time together indoors. We sit, drink coffee, and talk as we watch the eastern sky brighten. December 20, last year, the sunrise was incredible with a massive pillar of light rising towards the zenith. From our little hilltop, the view was wonderful, and we began snapping a few photos to capture the Lord’s artwork. It reminded us of the Exodus, and we talked of what the pillars of flame and cloud might have looked like and the reality of seeing with your own eyes the one and only I AM. Up close and personal! It would be impossible to forget.
The day came and went, only to find the sunset much the same! It was absolutely amazing to see the same rare phenomena happen twice on the same day. We tend not to over-spiritualize life, but it does cause us to pause and wonder what it means. If we take God’s sovereignty at face value, then there aren’t really any co-inkydinks, and we are in a world where He allows and causes things to happen as He sees fit in His perfect will. What an incredible truth that brings incredible peace! I could think about it all day!
As always, may you find joy in the simple things.
