Sunset Bay



After dinner tonight, we decided to take advantage of the less than 100 degree weather and stop by White Rock Lake. We headed to Sunset Bay, a location we've visited a few times during the day, but never at sunset. Tonight was the night to be there as the sky was bright with oranges, pinks, yellows, and purples. The water birds were out in full force tonight, fishing and wading in the shallow bay.

We enjoyed watching the egrets, and this little snowy came close to the dock where we stood.



Psalm 50.1 The Mighty One, God, the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to the place where it sets.

Anytime I am able to view a beautiful sunset, my heart floods with awe and amazement at my God. The beauty gives me a small glimpse into the beauty of my Love, Jesus, and it stirs within me a passion and desire for home. And although a sunset is one of the most beautiful things that my eyes behold, I know that the beauty of my Savior will far outweigh the beauty of the sky.



Your sun will never set again,
and your moon will wane no more;
the LORD will be your everlasting light,
and your days of sorrow will end.
Then will all your people be righteous
and they will possess the land forever.
