sunset

I have to say today that I am grateful for eyesight. Although mine seems to be deteriorating faster than would be ideal, I must praise God because I cannot imagine my life without it. I was stopped in my tracks when I saw the breathtaking sunset tonight. I can picture God embracing all these marvelous shades of red, orange, purple, and blue and then spreading them around the sky as if painting on a canvas. I often wonder how many times He creates a masterpiece for us to enjoy, but in our hurried lives we skip past it without a second thought? Everytime I see a sunset I think of how it rose in the east and took all day to move across the sky where it makes its exit with a grand array of colors- and in the same thought I am reminded how far my sins are removed from me. Do I serve God in such a way to warrant this great blotting out of all my iniquities? I feel so unworthy and undeserving.
