Like a mist

Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Most mornings in the Smokies feature misty fog and are a photographer’s paradise. I was standing at one side of the cove looking through the morning fog across to the mountains on the other side.

The challenge for me on these misty mornings was to settle in one place long enough to concentrate on the photo at hand before being drawn in another direction. I had just captured the above photo to my satisfaction when I caught sight of the morning sun brilliantly streaming onto a bend in the road that loops around the cove.

The Bible describes our life as a vapor like the morning fog; but for those who live by faith, the light of God can shine through our lives to bring beauty to the world and perhaps even draw some to Him.

What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. James 4:14
