For the beauty of the Earth

As I sit in Western North Carolina looking out the window at the Smokie Mountains and the beauty of God's creation I am reminded of that old song, "For the beauty of the earth," a song of praise to God for the creation. I don't remember which atheist it was, but there was one who was reported to have once said that he admired Christians for the fact that they had someone to thank! Well, I thank God for life and the beauty of life. Someone once said that the ultimate question is, "why is there anything as opposed to nothing?" I have no answer save for God. So, thank you, Lord, for everything - and today, thank you for the Great Smokies!
