God's Grandeur

Recently I had the opportunity to participate in a family vacation cruise.  As it was my first cruise I was in awe of everything. One morning I was looking out on the ocean and was struck by the beauty.  I was reminded of the poem, God's Grandeur, by Gerard Manley Hopkins.  The line that summed up what I was seeing was "The world is charged with the grandeur of God..."  As I looked out on the ocean I was struck by the infinity of the sea before me.  It reminded me of God's love for each one of us and how God tenderly holds each one of us in the palm of his hand.  I share a few pictures which remind me of this reality.
