Today was the day everyone had been taking about and waiting on for so long— the solar eclipse.  And it did not disappoint. As I gazed upward, with my protective glasses in place, and saw the sun try to peek out from behind the clouds, I couldn’t help but think of God and his amazing handiwork.  How did He create such an intricate masterpiece with so many moving parts that even the brightest minds can’t fully explain?  Sadly, the clouds did not allow me to get a very good picture but right before everything was in position I snapped a shot that looked very similar to a painting of an angel that Allison did several years ago for Ashleigh. How fitting!  Then as quick as it came, within two minutes the bright radiant light became eerily dark, reminiscent again of the day Jesus paid it all for us on Calvary.  But just as the stone was rolled away on the Sunday that followed, the sun was back out again and in full force.  Breathtaking!   And while none of the media reports I’ve seen didn’t acknowledge where all of this truly came from, we know.  It was just God being God! And nothing can ever eclipse His power, His love, or His being.  Someday soon He’ll be coming again in the clouds.  Will you be ready for that Sonday?  No glasses needed.  Just childlike belief.  Allison couldn’t have painted it any better. 

”“But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.“
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭29‬-‭31‬ ‭
