Have you heard of "Join the Applause"? It's a group started on Facebook. The purpose of the group was to gather somewhere beautiful this past Saturday, and applaud, or praise God as the sun set. They had groups all over the world, so the thought was that starting in New Zealand, as the sun set around the world, there would be 24 hours of praise!
As the day progressed yesterday, many pictures were posted of different 'Join the Applause' groups in their beautiful spot from all over the world.
My friend Kim, of Scattered Stones invited people to join her family and take part in this.
We met at a park on the shore of Lake Michigan.

The walk to the beach
The view of the lake from the top of the dunes. Notice the sky? It didn't look like there was going to be much of a sunset.
Beautiful dunes
A beach is a great place to relax and enjoy part of God's creation.
Here's Kim's husband Steve playing with Chloe, Bekah and Kaitlyn.
The girls found this bug near the water. He was about 2 inches long! He's a part of God's creation too, but I don't find him too pretty!
When the sun was almost down, it peeked through the clouds for several minutes.
Even after it went below the clouds, the sky looked beautiful.
This is what we saw when we turned around and prepared to climb back up the dunes to go home.
And here's the gorgeous color from the top.It was a wonderful night, to sit with friends, enjoy such beauty and praise God!
