Last night, on the way home from church, we saw a stupendous light show in the sky. There was a system of the most beautiful bimulous clouds in the distance, still somewhat lit by the sun, although the rest of the sky was dark. I was admiring that bunch of clouds because, to me they reminded me of the cellulite in the back of my thigh that is so stubborn.:(. Well, I asked the Lord why he was putting my fat in the sky to torment me? A joke that I share with the Lord about how I really am trying to diet, although, I still struggle with the candy machine daily. I said to Him, did you have to put it right in front of my face like that? That is too embarrassing. He said you have on that skirt that shows the back of your knees, so obviously you don't care if the whole world sees it. Out of the bunch of clouds, came lightning strikes over and over that lit up the different levels of the clouds. The rest of the sky was completely dark. We couldn't see if there was a moon. Dad used to ask me, what is your weight up to now? We would laugh. God is so much dearer, to have caused me to look my cellulite in the eye, so to speak; so that I can go back to battling it.
It really looked like a set of fireworks for a little while there. The children were too busy recounting their interactions at church to enjoy the light show. Just, Ben and I were seeing what was happening there in front of us. We said the angels must have been celebrating the 4th early.
Isn't God the most amazing artist and fireworks demonstrator?
