Today I had a couple of meetings in Kissimmee which required me to be on the road at 6:30 in the morning. As I was traveling across rural Brevard and Osceola Counties on the way to Florida Christian College, I saw two things that took my breath away. The first was the sunrise in my rear view mirror (I was traveling west). Too often we take something that happens everyday for granted, but today I was reminded that though the sun rises every morning, each day we have a new opportunity to see God's handiwork. This brings me to the second item; about 7:20 this morning I saw a Bald Eagle in full flight - I have to admit I was pretty stoked. While I have seen many pictures and video clips of eagles in flight and in my office I have several eagles on display; pictures, figurines etc. I have to admit I was struck by the majesty of the eagle in flight. Now it is rare for me to be traveling at 6:30 in the morning, but I could not help but think how thankful I was to see God's handiwork in the flight of the eagle.
Everyday we have a chance to see the common (sunrise) and the uncommon (an eagle in flight). Let us not take for granted the opportunities to see God's creation all around us. I hope you see God, both in the common and in the uncommon either at 6:30 in the morning or 6:30 in the evening!
