Perseid Meteor Shower


It is about 1:00AM here in Colorado, and my kiddos are just drifting off to dreamland after spending the last hour or more watching the Perseid meteor shower - or as Hunter called it, "God's fireworks"! It was a beautiful, restful family time - all of us stretched out on the deck with blankets and pillows (and dog), listening to the peaceful chirping of the crickets - Hunter insisted that the crickets were singing, "Hallelujah, Jesus!" - and watching the glorious nighttime "fireworks" display. It reminded me once again just how much "the heavens declare the glory of God"! We saw 50-60 different meteors between the four of us, and Katie spotted about 15 on her own.

We, too, sat out looking for the "fireworks", but it was too cloudy for us to see anything and too tired to stay up real late. Glad you enjoyed it. Can't wait to be looking at that Colorado sky!

It sounds like you all had a beautiful time as a family. Isn't God wonderful. And he has blessed us so much with our beautiful families.

Also, I have been meaning to tell you all thank you for linking your blog to ours; we appreciate it.

Many blessings.
