Day 16 - ski, snow and God.

Day 16 and I spent it with my youngest son skiing/boarding as I'm gone for his birthday (again - aargh!).
The sky was brilliant blue, the snow immaculate white and we had fun ....and only one fall which was off piste and it didn't hurt my neck.

So as I sat on the ski lift heading to 7000 ft my mind went to the Bible verse "I lift my eyes to the hills, where does my help come from? My help comes from the Maker of Heaven and Earth."

Days like today help me remember how incredible a Maker our God is. I know creation is limited in revealing God - I know it can't reveal His Salvation - but when you see it on a day like today - wow!

So I sat on the chair and tried to worship, tried to help my mind enjoy God.

But I could only manage a mediocre worship with creation. My day was about being with my son and having fun, laughter, speed, jumps, togetherness. Most of my focus was on that - every ski lift ride, every standing waiting on the lift, every pause as we skied and he snowboarded down loads of runs. Today was about Luke.

And as I spent time with Luke he reminded me of how incredible a Maker our God is. He made this amazing kid with humor, fun, daring and insight.

So yep - the scenery, the blue ski and the snow revealed God - but today I saw Him more in the personality of my son .....and that helped me worship Him more.
