Happy Thought: Sunsets

Have you ever hiked to the top of a mountain and stood to admire the sun setting?  Or stopped as you were walking home just to look up at the sky brilliantly filled with color?  Mahatma Gandhi said "When I admire the wonders of a sunset, my soul expands in the worship of the creator."  I completely agree with him.  It's amazing to me how a sunset can remind us of the grandeur of God.  This past summer I remember driving home from a long day of work and I was exhausted.  My bed was calling my name, more like screaming my name..but as I was sitting at a stoplight, I glanced up into the sky and what I saw literally took my breath away.  A masterpiece was right above me.  Oranges, yellows, and pinks kept me mesmerized.  I couldn't resist taking a picture, even though it just doesn't do it justice.  I drove the rest of the way home almost in a daze, trying to ingrain the image in my head.  The beauty of it though is that I didn't need to.  The sun sets every day and even though some are more striking than others, they are all so beautiful.
