God created for the fun of it!

Yonder is the great and wide sea 

with its living things too many to number, 

creatures both small and great.

There move the ships,

and there is that leviathan,

which you have made for the sport of it.

                                Psalm 104: 26-27

I was fortunate enough to escape to a warm climate in January.  Our dear friends invited me and and my husband to go to Mexico for a week. One of the days, we went sailing in Banderas 

Bay.  

To our great joy, the fish decided to play along side of the sail boat.  

We saw some beautiful black, white and yellow fish, who looked like escapees from a large salt water tank.  Six dolphins swam and dove along side the boat in playful maneuvers.    And just when we thought it couldn't get any better, two whales, mother and baby surfaced, breached (we actually saw the fountain of water and heard their breathing) then they dove and were off on their long swim to Alaska.  This is migration time.  The whales are born in the warmer waters of the gulf of Mexico and then swim the full length of the continent, up the coast into the cold Alaskan seas.

All of these wonders are happening everyday as we get up, get coffee, complain about the weather or the news.  These "great leviathans which our God has made for the sport of it" share our world.

Today say a prayer for all of the wonders in creation, including yourself, which our God has made so well.

Blessings, Karen
