Sunday we went to Kansas (9 whole miles) to do some shopping. I spotted one of the remnants of fall '09 and thought it would be a beautiful backdrop for a photo op. We were not dressed for pictures, but oh well.
As you may or may not remember from your middle school science classes, color is the byproduct of the spectrum of light, as it is reflected or absorbed, as it is received by the human eye and processed by the human brain. Visible light is made up of seven wavelengths. (ones our eyes can see) When light hits objects, some of the wavelengths are absorbed and some are reflected,depending on the materials in the object. The reflected wavelengths are what we perceive as the objects color. Light rays are bent into different sizes giving us different colors. So basically we see reflected bent light as color.
So I think of Jesus wrapped in light and I envision an array of color all around Him. Yes I know He is clothed in a white robe. Pure white robe. In the color/light analogy, absorbing nothing, reflecting all He is back to us to receive in through our eye and process in our brain. But yet, He is all...all the colors of His creation, wrapped into whi
I see the magnitude of who He is by the display of spectacular fall colors in nature demonstrating to us not only what He created but what He looks like and another part of the majestic God He is, clothed in light.
Just pondering,

I have indeed marveled at the beauty of the creation and God's variety expressed even in the different colors of the leaves (both when they are varying shades of green and then when they turn reds, oranges, yellows and even brown). But never have I thought of all those colors and the white of Jesus' robe. Thought provoking!
Love you, Moma
