California is still burning! But the number of fires is down to 330. Looks like we are in for a lot of smoke and ash this year. Last week I was taking out the trash and glanced over at the flowers in front of the house. The sprinklers had just turned off and the sun was just coming through. The whole area was covered diamonds of water drops. I grabbed my camera and took a bunch of pictures. Even without closeup lenses I was able capture the experience.
It is amazing how, if we just look around, God provides such beautiful reminders of His love for each of us. There was no reason to create water to glisten and reflect, but He did! There are several things we can learn from this, like look for the “silver lining” or “things go better with a smile.” I’m sure you can come up with more if you take time to “reflect” on this.
