“His Palaces Beautiful in the West”

Posted by eebakcuh on May 24, 2008

We’ve been witnessing some beautiful sunsets lately in the western sky, the days are getting longer. (But NOTHING compares to our wide open view of sunsets in NW Minnesota. I miss being at home with the planting season just beginning)  While “punching the clock” here in Almaty, Kazakhstan, this upcoming Monday I’ll start teaching a reading and writing class for Summer Session One, every day from 7:00 to 8:15 p.m.  Hopefully it won’t be too hot by the end of the day.  I’m thankful for the view of the majestic mountains we have from our south balcony and the sunsets from our northern balcony view.  Much to do even at the end of this spring semester, maybe that’s why I like the following quote from Streams in the Desert.

“Some things cannot be done in a day.  God does not make a sunset glory in a moment, but for days may be massing the mist out of which He builds His palaces beautiful in the west.”
