I woke up this morning to the barking of the dogs. Seems they were upset by the appearance of these little visitors who arrived in our yard last night:
The cactus also sprouted another yellow bloom over the last couple of days.

Amazement is the only adequate response on our part of the variety of life & the beauty of nature. The complexity & interconnected of life continuously speaks to us of a divine plan larger than we could ever fathom.
The beauty & uniqueness of each sunrise should help us to see the goodness of the God who created us & loves us, the mysterious paths by which he guides us toward him, & the generosity of he who offers us endless new beginnings.
All the beauty of nature should turn our minds to comtemplate the one who is the source of all beauty, the one of which earthly beauty is merely a reflection & a foretaste.

Almost every Thursday someone in my Cursillo prayer group starts her sharing with a comment about how the sunrise that morning has lifted her towards God. Your description is so eloquent...I'm going to run a copy and share it with the group.
I took this sunrise picture because the clouds illuminated by the sun looked like a phoenix rising up. Maybe you had to be there...
To me, it looks more like an upside-down exclamation point!
