It’s dark now in the mornings
when I leave home
to drive to work.

This morning,
we turn a corner
as the car climbs uphill,
out of Dundrod
and to our delight,
we see a huge expanse
of shimmering, pink clouds
in a deep blue morning sky.
The clouds are radiant,
glimmering and glowing
and an early morning plane
scores a pink vapour trail
across the sky.

I grin.
This is God at work
in spectacular fashion
at this early hour,
painting a “Good morning!” greeting
across the sky!

Next day,
at morning prayer,
I read in Psalm 18,
“The heavens proclaim
the glory of God”.
Such a perfect description
of the early morning handiwork of My God …
written thousands of years ago!

Wow!

God amazed people
thousands of years ago in Israel
and continues to amaze people
today in Ireland.

Long may it continue!
