We just returned from two weeks in Florida, watching the early morning sunrises off the Atlantic Coast.
March of 2008, we also spent time on the Gulf coast of Florida and experienced the evening sunset each day.
Oh God,
Nothing says “rejoice†like a
glorious sunrise and peaceful sunset.
And it all “happensâ€
by Your power
for our enjoyment.
And it’s all grace.

This is absolutely gorgeous. LOVE it. Thank you.
thanks for visiting Joanne. Good to have you stop by and enjoy the sunset/sunrise with me.
Florida coast sunrises are breathtaking! I don’t usually get up early while on vacation, but when we are in Florida I make sure to get up for the sunrise! Beautiful reminders of God’s glory.
I too am not a morning person at all, but in on vacation in Florida, I would be right there with you , watching for the sun. I might however, go back to bed! thanks for stopping by, Kim
Hi Carol,
There is so much joy in marveling in HIS beautiful creation.
thanks for stopping by, Trinity – I love seeing God in his creation – and sunrises/sunsets are some of my favorites
Beautiful pairing of verse and picture.
I am a Florida girl… glad you had a nice visit. 🙂
yes, it was a wonderful time. Last time this year my dad had to come live with us….and we had not been away from the house together for more than a few hours at a time. My husband’s brother in law came to stay wtih my dad since i hve no other siblings anymore. The time away was wonderful and I love florida in march!
sunrise and sunset all in one? incredibly powerful, Carol. thank you for this image that gave me cause for pause …
Thanks for stopping by Linda. I loved creating this – the peace, the splendor all rolled up into one.
I grew up going to the beach nearly everyday. Have lived on the Atlantic Coast and panhandle of Florida and I very much love the sunrises and sunsets too. This is a fantastic photo. Visiting from “Scripture and a Snapshot’
oh to live on the beach, be close to the water. This past week i was standing on the beach in North Miami Beach, asking God for a fresh sense of his presence, right then….and i heard the waves and it was like he said, I keep sending the waves, over and over and over – like me love it just keeps coming. I decided this spring I wil try to get to Lake Michigan at least every 4-6 weeks. it feed my soul. thanks for stsopping by donna
Beautiful photo! It is so true, whether the sun is rising or setting, there is such beauty and it turns our thoughts to Him! So glad I stopped here from Scripture & a Snapshot this morning. Have a blessed Sunday!
