Our family vaction took us to Niagra Falls this year. It was the first time that any of us have ever seen this national treasure. I was immediately struck by the power of the Falls, but I became mesmerized by the fact that the water never stops. It just keeps on flowing over the edge of the cliffs by tens of thousands of gallons every day. It never dries up and it never slows down. I find that amazing. Being there, feeling the power of the water, watching something that is so much bigger and has been here so much longer than anything I can fathom - it is humbling. I felt like I was viewing and experiencing one of God's masterpieces; one of His displays of creativity and power and perfection; a gift from Him to us. I am so grateful for the opportunity to have seen it from every angle possible, to have felt the mist on my face, and to have heard the deafening roar of the water crashing endlessly over the cliffs. Nature does, indeed, remind me of the power of my Creator and the place that He has for me in His world.
