Break forth, O mountains, into singing!

Here's where I spent my Christmas:

(The view from Grandpa's backyard.)

Nature is amazing, isn't it? I swear, mountains, the ocean, sunrises, stars -- they stop me in my tracks. I can't help but stand in awe. So passages like this have always made a lot of sense to me:

"Sing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth;
   break forth, O mountains, into singing!
For the LORD has comforted his people
   and will have compassion on his afflicted."

-Isaiah 49:13

Today is Christmas: a reminder that the Lord has indeed comforted his people! 

What a sweet story of redemption. Let heaven and nature sing.

Hoping yours was merry and bright!
