Niagara Falls

Have you ever read the well-known and well-loved children's book, "Charlotte's Web"? If so, you know that Charlotte was a spider who adopted as her life's mission the saving of Wilbur, the pig. To do so, she wove special words into beautiful spider webs above Wilbur . . .

I couldn't help thinking about that as I gazed at Niagara Falls the other day. Marvelous! Majestic! Fantastic! Powerful! Amazing! Incredible! Awesome! Which word best describes this overwhelming water flow?

And then I couldn't help thinking that it isn't the body of water that is so marvelous, majestic, fantastic, powerful, amazing, incredible, or awesome. It is our loving God, who created it, that should receive the accolades, to whom the all those adjectives truly refer.
