And it was good....

This morning started off slightly earlier than usual for a Saturday as I had a ministry breakfast meeting.  What a joy to share in ministry with these fine men of God. It was a good meeting and a good breakfast as we talked and planned our fall events for CBC Men's Ministry.


As it turned out to be such a beautiful morning, I decided to take the dog for a walk after the meeting and soon found myself on the Fort to Fort trail in Fort Langley.

While I was walking Miley, it was fun to see how he walked beside me and took in every scent and sight around.  He even tried to make a dash for the squirrel that ran across the path in front of us which made me (and others on the trail smile).  Not even a butterfly or the tiniest creeping creature seemed to be missed.  As we walked and played, I could not help but notice the beauty of my surroundings and was soon  reminded of how it all began:

In Genesis 1:1 we read that  "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth...".Then God said, 'Let there be light', and there was light. And God saw that the light was good.

This was on the first day.  On day three, God separated the dry land from the waters and God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called seas... The earth brought forth vegetation, plants and trees  And God saw that it was good.

On day five, God let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly across the expanse of the heavens. And God saw that it was good.

Then, on day six, God created living creatures, livestock, creeping things and beasts of the earth.  And God saw that it was good.

God then made man and gave man dominion over the fish of the sea and the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth. And God saw everything that he had made and behold, it was very good.

What a wonderful reminder of the goodness of God and enjoying all He has given us to take care of as we continue to live "Corem Deo"
