Adventures in Firsts: Sunrise Snow

One of my favorite sights is the sunrise. 

(and I like that in the winter I don't have to be awake very early to see it!)

I wish I could say that I was sipping my coffee and reading my Bible as this beautiful sight above was painted in the sky outside our living room window....

But I cant. 

I was actually loading some dishes into the dishwasher while waiting for my hair straightener to warm up so I could finish getting ready for work, when I caught a glimpse out of the corner of my eye.

The beauty of the fresh dusting of snow (the first of the new year! yay! If it's going to be 5 degrees, we might as well get some snow to cover up all the frozen, brown grass...) and the first light of the new day, the bright pinks, purples, and oranges of the sunrise were just magnificent. 

And I couldn't help but stop, watch, and praise God for creating such a wonderful work of art on this freezing cold January morning. To thank Him for giving me an opportunity to spend a few quite moments with Him, enjoying the His beauty.
