When the view from your kitchen window looks like this…
You have to do two things.
Praise God for the breathtaking work of his hands
then grab your camera and run outside.

Psalm 8
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory
above the heavens.
From the lips of children and infants
you have ordained praise
because of your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger.
When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him?
You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
and crowned him with glory and honor.
You made him ruler over the works of your hands;
you put everything under his feet:
all flocks and herds,
and the beasts of the field,
the birds of the air,
and the fish of the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas.
O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

One of my favorite psalms..we memorized it as kids. I have been enjoying the richness of fall this year — the colors seem more spectacular than usual! A lovely view out your window. I think kitchen windows are the most important of all in the house!
