This summer I worked outside in the early hours of morning. I saw some pretty awesome looking skies. And though I tried to capture some of the magnificence with my iPod, these images fall far short of the vast and glorious reality God displays in his sky.
I think I will put a quote from Lord of the Rings with these photos
"So it is true. In a
dream, I saw the Eastern sky grow dark. But in the West, a pale light lingered.
A voice was crying, 'The doom is near at hand, Isildur's Bane is found.'"
–Boromir
"A light from the
shadow shall spring." –Arwen
“May it be a light
for you in dark places, when all other lights go out. “ –Galadriel
"Far over the Misty Mountains cold/ To dungeons deep and caverns old/
We must away ere break of day/ to find our long forgotten gold."
"The pines were roaring on the height / The winds were
moaning in the night /
The fire was red, it flame spread / The trees like
torches blazed with light..."
Bilbo Baggins: Good morning.
Gandalf: What do you mean? Do you wish me a good
morning or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it to be or not or
that you feel good this morning or that it is a morning to be good on?
Bilbo Baggins: All of them at once.
“A
red sun rises, blood has been spilled this night.” Legolas
“ Look to my coming on the first light of the fifth day, at
dawn look to the east.” –Gandalf
This next series I took a photo every few minutes (I was watering so it did not interfere with my work ;)
"We Ents cannot hold
back this storm. We must weather such things as we have always done." –Treebeard
“Even darkness must
pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the
clearer.”
-Samwise
Each morning the sunrise reminds us of how God's mercies are new each and every morning. Each morning the sun rises foreshadowing the day when God will be our sun and light and darkness will be now more.
"And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light." -Revelation 22:5
