Worship His Majesty

A day at Yosemite. You know that movie, "Vacation," with Chevy Chase, and he goes to the Grand Canyon, and he gets out of the car, takes a look, nods his head twice and then they jump back in the car. I have to admit, that's something I can relate to. Beautiful landscape, scenery, or even oceans don't always evoke as much appreciation from me as they probably should. Today, we went on a full day tour of Yosemite National Park. Having had more than my fill of mountain driving on the edges of steep cliffs with twists and turns like spaghetti tangled in the meatballs, I signed us up for the full package: driver, guide, and education all in one. So, after not breathing for most of the ride down into the valley, I was finally there and able to look around. It was AMAZING! All I could think of is God's magnificent creation. I was completely overwhelmed and even moved to tears. This completely surprised me. I surprised myself. I didn't know I had it in me. I think living in Hawaii, a place of such beauty, I have almsot become "used to it." This was a different beauty. It struck me. It was powerful and huge and inspiring and wild. I really loved it. I'm so glad I visited Yosemite National Park. I was going to cut it....that would've been a great loss. Most of all, I feel such a great sense of how big and powerful God is. His Majesty. It made me desire to Worship His Majesty. Grateful and Thankful and Amazed.
