My mind boggles at the thought of all the amazing and wonderful things our Lord has created. There is so much variety, so much beauty, in this world. When we grow arrogant enough to think we understand all that He created, He shows us something new and reminds us we can’t even begin to understand.
These flowers took my breath away. What takes your breath away and reminds you of God’s wonder?

I think trees take my breath away more than any other thing He's created. It's because God allows them to change their clothes with the season!
Amazing flowers.
I am easily awed by God's
creation. I love the birds,
flowers and trees. Then I
look at my children and pets
and realize it's man and
animals that surpass even
the beautiful plant kingdom.
We are created in His image
and nothing compares.
I thought the flowers were
plastic too. Really lovely.
That's a great photo! They DO look kinda fuzzy, how cool. The things in creation are definitely breathtaking. I saw a perfectly blue sky with crisp white clouds the other day. Neat, especially in the middle of winter!
The moon.
The fact my wife loves me.
And the platypus. I mean really - what a unique creature!
Nature, pregnancy and childbirth, and most important God's love for me..
ps lovely little flower. What is it called?
sunnycalgirl, I was hoping no one would ask me the name of the flowers because I have no idea what they are called.
Funny! Let's just call them Purdy Pinks! lol!
Just nature in general takes my breath away. I have a post ready for the absolutely wonderful things He has given us! Is He not good? Those flowers are stunning. I used to sing a song to my children that goes, "Oh who can make a flower? I know I can't can you? Oh who can make a flower? No one but God, it's true!"
Yeah they do look a bit plastic. You are right Lyn. Regardless, God's perfect creation as well.
Very Beautiful.
Blessings,

Things like these flowers take my breath away too! How could anyone not believe in God? with such perfection...
Those flowers are so dainty and frail...and gorgeous. They really do take my breath away. Everything God makes has that effect on me. Especially the human body..all the intricate and complicated details...who is like God?
On a recent vacation to Colorado, we were driving down a mountain road and decided to park the car and just start hiking. We hadn't gone far when we came across an amazing canyon with a river at the bottom. It was so high and so beautiful, it took my breath away. It's like God had placed it there just for us. We still refer to it as our "secret canyon." That was the first thing that came to my mind when I read this post.
Aw, this is beautiful! How happy am I that you stopped by and introduced me to your blog!
Today, I was amazed by my son's prayer. He is ten and a half and should be concerned all about himself. And yet in his prayer (he gave the family prayer) he asked that I'll be blessed in my writing, and his dad blessed in his work and that his brother will have a good day at school tomorrow. It just made my heart swell because I know this boy is a child of god and I am so grateful for him.
((hugs))
Those little flowers look a lot like 'frosting flowers' that we'd see on a cake! They look good enough to eat. lol
I am most in awe of nearly everything in God's creation. The waves and the sea with it's crashing rhythm of sound and ever-changing, swirling colors as it hits and washes into and over the warm sand. The mist and surrealness of the mountains and the deep, cool sights and sounds of the forest. The stars and the way the multiply the longer we stare up at them. Just everything! It all points to a Creator who loves us with ever-lasting love.
Good question!!
Blessings,
Deb
I love observing nature like this. The picture's lovely. I think those things that take my breath away are when you come across an unexpected problem that will be utterly devastating and find that God has something in wait to help you. Last year, my daughter had several rotting teeth and had to have them removed. The pediactric dentist wouldn't do the surgery without half the cost paid up front in cash and we didn't have it. Then I received my bonus (I barely got one the previous year and wasn't sure about it at the time.) It was the precise to-the-$ amount of her surgery.
I was going to ask you what the flowers were called, too but saw your above response! Maybe God will reveal the answer for us soon.
The rocky mountains reminds me of the awesomeness of our God.
Beautiful picture!
I love sunsets...

The beauty and variety of flowers reminds me of God's wonder. I'm extremely fascinated when visiting an aquarium and seeing all the marvelous creatures that live underwater and we usually don't see and that God has created with beauty and variety as well.
Oh, so many things make me just stop and thank God for the beauty He has surrounded us with. These flowers stunned me, too. Also, flowing water always makes me sing praises.
the ocean, the moon, the bare lacy branches of winter trees, my daughter's face...
Hi Lyn
Thanks for visiting my blog. I see that you're from Sydney. Do you go to Hillsong by any chance? I go to the one here in London and love it! :o)
Hi, D U
Hillsong is about an hour and a half drive away from where I live so, no, I've not actually gone to see them. I have a few of their CDs though :)
Wow. What sort of photos are these with a fine fuzz?

Zev, um do you mean what kind of flowers? I don't know their name, sorry.
