Cloud Art :)

I didn't see this cloud myself but thought it was very cool! :)
What do you think it looks like?

Reese and I took a walk downtown Milton on Saturday night. It was a beautiful night with the first hint of fall. I looked up at the clouds and as is habit for me and tried to find one that resembled something. I pointed to a cloud and asked Reese if it looked like anything to him. He promptly told me that it looked like.. a cloud! I rolled my eyes and told him I thought it looked like an airplane and pointed out all the curves and areas that made up different parts of the plane. He said he could see it after I pointed it out.. but I'm not so sure he wasn't humoring me! :) Reese doesn't ever look at the clouds as anything other than clouds. I, on the other hand, never look at the clouds without finding things that they resemble.

Since I was writing about cloud shapes, I wanted to give you some examples! This is a very short piece with some amazing cloud shapes and exactly what I'm talking about! 10 Amazing Cloud Shapes

I got to thinking this morning about those clouds. Sometimes they're super puffy, sometimes really, really tall, sometimes they're just barely slight wisps of white against the blue of the sky, sometimes they're very dark and angry and sometimes, as the sun is rising or setting, they can look like they're on fire! When that happens they just become the most brilliant reds, oranges, pinks and yellows you've ever seen.

We look up at the clouds and we see such a limited view of the big picture. God doesn't! He is high above them! I thought, wouldn't it be so cool to get to Heaven and realize that all those clouds come together in beautiful works of art when you look at them from so high above? What if those sunsets we see are just a small portion of God's sky canvas?

Not to say that God flies cloud airplanes through the sky but how many times have you looked up and thought.. wow.. those clouds look like angels wings, look over there.. that cloud looks like a heart! I've seen photos of clouds that resembled lots of things. Thinking about God looking down from above and using the sky as a big, beautiful canvas just makes me happy! The next time you're down below.. looking up.. try to imagine it! It's pretty awe inspiring! :)
