Firmament Fabrics










Isaiah 22 says that the Lord stretches out the heavens as a curtain. He spreads them out as a tent to dwell in..

I found myself outside again at 3:30 to take cloud pictures. The skies have been spectacular all throughout the day lately. The rapidly changing weather systems have stirred them up into beautiful tapestries.

Often, I look at a pattern in the clouds and think that it would translate beautifully into a silk batik scarf, table runner, or magnificent curtains. I played with the color on these to encourage you to imagine the fine silks and wonder what you might make of them. God's creativity stirs our imagination.

The heavens are telling the glory of God; they are a marvelous display of his craftsmanship. Day and night they keep on telling about God. Without a sound or word, silent in the skies, their message reaches out to all the world. The sun lives in the heavens where God placed it and moves out across the skies as radiant as a bridegroom going forth from his chamber.
Psalm 19:1-5

Too many people these days are looking down and lamenting "woe is me!" If they would only look up, they would be saying WOW! instead, just as you do! God provides just the right colors and patterns to His sunrises and sunsets!

Have a glorious Sunday, Connie!
