Sun

August 6

I am thankful for the sun. Without the sun or a similar energy source, life as we know it would not be possible. That to me is a great reason to be thankful for it. But beyond that, the sun is what creates the most wonderful lighting and atmospheric effects such as sunrises and sunsets. The sun brings warmth to our planet. It is rather amazing that the amount of light and heat from the sun is perfect for sustaining life on our planet.

This is a photo of the sun sinking low in the horizon through the trees at Lake Martin near Breaux Bridge, Louisiana. Lake Martin is very beautiful and also serves as a wildlife and bird sanctuary.

our sun brings warmth

life, love, and much light

from God it comes

opposite the night

without sun

days would be night

no life for us

nothing would be right

but in His wisdom

God lit a fire far over us

to show us His power

amazing and incredulous

His son and our sun

we claim them both

one for life

the other for hope.
