清晨，我与朋友每周一次在芝加哥的湖边跑步。通常我们开始跑步时，天色仍然相当黑，城市仍然一片静寂。我们沿途曾见过红狐在白金汉喷泉附近的灌木丛林下睡觉，也见过几只寻觅兔子的土狼在单行线上徘徊。

我们返回时，太阳刚刚开始从密歇根湖面升来。过不了多久，阳光从芝加哥城区地平线上的银色玻璃反射出来，天空浮现出一片粉红和橙色晕染的底色，湖水则是一片蔚蓝。每一次的风光都美得令人叹为观止，这纯粹的美景的确值得驻足。这样的时刻，是人生中一个难得的震撼心灵的时刻。

或许你也有一条最熟悉的步道、一个最喜爱的观赏日落的地点，或者一台望远镜，用于观看星座、行星，或月亮——以及类似的一些令人心生敬畏的景观。

无论是什么事物令你产生这种感受，今天的你，能否留出片刻，来领会令人惊叹的创造之美呢？

Once a week I meet with a friend early in the morning to run along the Chicago lakefront. When we begin, it is usually dark, and the city is quiet. Along the way we have seen a red fox that sleeps under bushes around Buckingham fountain, and we once came upon a handful of coyotes pacing the bike path, looking for rabbits.
By the time we head back, the sun is just beginning to peek over Lake Michigan. Before long, the sun's rays reflect off Chicago's silvery, mirrored downtown skyline. The sky begins to take on pink and orange hues, and the water can be so blue. It's breathtaking every single time. The sheer beauty is something to behold. It is one of the few moments that weekly puts me in a state of awe.

Maybe you have a favorite walk that you take, a favorite spot to watch the sun set, or a telescope to look at stars, planets, or the moon—something that creates in you a sense of awe.

Whatever does this for you, can you set aside a few moments today and take in the beauty and awe of God's creation?
