With the funeral arrangements and such, this week is just too busy to sit down and blog much. So I am reposting this entry to remind me to worship God in all we do for today's Walk Down Memory Lane.

Have you ever had a moment when you knew God was right there with you showing you glimpses of His glory? When that occurs for me most is sunset and sunrise. Not sure why, but I just feel like sometimes God wants to show me His creativity and glory all at the same time. For me, when I see that I run to get my camera, however the pictures are never the same thing for me. I try my hardest to grab onto that moment. I was humbled this week by my 11 year old daughter in a moment like this. We were at the lake house getting school done and giving mom a needed chance to focus. One evening, we looked out the large windows over the lake and noticed the most beautiful sunset. It had been raining all day long so truly this was the first time we could enjoy the outdoors. We both ran outside, me with camera in hand and Doodle with complete joy. We rushed down the steps to the dock and I started snapping my pictures. I turn to notice my daughter dancing on the dock in a moment of praise. What a sweet moment. And lucky me...I had my camera!
Doodle fully engrossed in praising her God!
Watching her freely praise her God in a moment of joy made me wonder, what holds me back from praising God in the way I feel at that moment? This week, I want to praise him like a child and not just any child....my child: freely and without regard to who is watching or what they think. God showed me a glimpse of His glory this week through my child. I'm so glad I had the camera at that moment, but now regret not putting it down and joining in the dance with her. Maybe next time.....

Dancing before the Lord like David did! This was an awesome reminder to praise God for everything.
Loved the pictures of your daughter. I love sunrises and sunsets too!
I think of them as beautiful reminders that God is in control. He holds the planets, and the sun and the moon in place! And He lets them move and bring us new blessings with each new day.
We are not even as big as a grain of sand compared to the universe,...and yet God loves us!
WHAT A HUGE GOD WE HAVE! He is so amazing!
Take care,...and rest in Him!

What a nice sunset and a beautfiul moment captured!
Amen.
Precious memories and thank you for sharing them today.
I pray all goes well with the funeral arrangements and may the Lord be your comfort during this time of sorrow.
We all need reminders to be more like a child in our faith and the expression of that faith. Thank you for reminding us.
Amen. I want to praise God beautifully and freely too. I do that quite well in private. I guess I should get alone more.
But, I'd like to feel freer to worship like that in front of others too.
