Fingerprints on Friday

Nature gives so many fingerprints of God, just looking at the sky is a wonderful way to think about them. We had some huge thunderstorms and watched the lightening all over the sky one night. I had forgotten how beautiful it can be, although a little frightening. Another day, I managed to capture a rainbow and remembered it's God's promise, so the frightening storm of the day didn't seem to matter much then and it was very calming and peaceful. Later, while I was watering my little plants, I noticed a huge praying mantis and took that as a good sign. I guess it had to be big enough for me to notice since I nearly touched it before I realized it wasn't part of the plant! Then I have the beauty of pink lilies, which every other yard around here seems to have (even my mom has these!) I can't help but notice these on my walks around town and took this pretty bouquet shot in front of the library. They look like a bouquet just by the way they are planted and have long stems, a wonderful fingerprint of God that makes me go ahh, what a beautiful bouquet!
