THRILL

This post was written for Five Minute Friday

Word prompt--THRILL

Five minutes to free-write about it

------------------------------------------------------- 

Love the picture Kate chose to go with this week's FMF prompt. The dog looks so happy. I wonder what's thrilling him (or her) the most--the view, the feel of the wind blowing in his face, or maybe both?

What would give me that same feeling? 

Definitely not gliding down a mountain full speed like Kate, or jumping out of planes and off high bridges like my granddaughter. Even just the thought of going on a roller coaster gives me chills rather than thrills.

What does give me a thrill though is the awesomeness of God's creation. The majesty of a sunrise or sunset, a double rainbow in the sky, the colors of spring and fall, a beautiful bird or butterfly. 

(Short break here as I went into my archives to look at my sunset pictures and pick a couple of my favorites to share with you all here.)

How can anyone look at these skies and doubt the existence of God?

Those who live at the ends of the earth stand in awe of your wonders. From where the sun rises to where it sets, you inspire shouts of joy. (Psalm 65:8, NLT)

The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftmanshup. (Psalm 19:1, NLT)

For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. (Romans 1:20, NLT)
