Isaiah 40:26: Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.
With less than 500 miles to go in this incredible journey, I still at times can’t believe that I have this opportunity to accomplish this dream. I continue to find the trail quite difficult at times, however, I also can’t believe how beautiful the trail is. Every day I see a vista, stream, forest setting, or even a tiny bug, butterfly, animal, or insect that is overwhelmingly beautiful.
Usually at night, I am either in a shelter or my tent and the stars are blocked by the trees of the forest. Two nights ago, I was in my tent and had a clear view of the cloudless night. Of course, there was no artificial light for miles and the stars were breathtaking. I even got to see a falling star!
Heavenly Father, I praise you as the Creator of all things! You are an awesome God!
Beautiful and meaningful thoughts…thanks.
Thank you for your reflections.
We really rarely see the stars in all there glory
I love a starry sky at the beach!
Safe travels cousin jack…. God Speed!
Amen!
How truly wonderful posts are in reverence to our great God! I wish I were out on that trail myself. Prayers for your safety and endurance.
