Karnes County's community newspaper

Not a cloud in the sky

Oh what a beautiful morning!

Folks, as I drove the golf cart out to get the mail this morning there was not a cloud in the sky.

Even with my failing eyesight I could see the horizon many miles away.

The birds were winging their way somewhere, the horses and cattle were peaceably grazing and barely raised their heads as I drove slowly by.

Three deer jumped the fence and crossed in front of me. I was moved to thank God for the privilege of witnessing such wonders.

All the things I was admiring were not man made!

Folks, do we realize millions of people have never seen what I had seen? Many are surrounded by man made structures and deplorable conditions. What a privilege and blessing it is to be able to see God’s creations!
