Myrtle Beach: The Glorious Sunrise

What a glorious day! We decided to wake up early and enjoy watching the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean.

We have only set an alarm clock a few times in the last 10 months.  So the idea of getting up before 6am feels shocking to me.  But it was my idea so there was no chickening out.  And what could be more glorious than the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean.

It was worth it!  We had gone yesterday to scope out the "perfect" spot to sit and have our perfect view of the sun coming up over the horizon.

 
As we enjoy our perfect moment watching the sunrise; I am reminded that God loves us so much that he created this beautiful world for us to enjoy.  He wants to provide beauty for us to see and remind us of God's power and glory.

Almost daily I remember the Bible verse:  Psalm 118:24, “This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”  I can tell you, we are rejoicing in the day!!!

Because we are not generally up at sunrise, we assumed no one else would be joining us at the beach.  We were so wrong.  There were quite a few people who had the same idea.

I could babble on about the sunrise and the beauty… but I am going to just show pictures instead.

“The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders; where morning dawns, where evening fades, you call forth songs of joy.”  Psalm 65:8

I do not imagine we will get up often to see a sunrise.  But I can say… it is something that will happen again.
