      Of course there is. He is such a Masterful Artist. It is beautiful that your loving husband is in the presence of our Heavenly Father. Yet, we are still human and it is completely normal to mourn the loss of his presence here with you while celebrating the life you were Blessed t live together, the love you shared, and the memories you made. I Pray in time they may be a source of comfort to you. May our Savior bring you the strength you need during this difficult time. You have my Prayers and heartfelt condolences @brendareeves7367 . May God Bless and comfort you and all who knew and loved your husband. May he rest in peace and fly high with the angels as he watches over you. I hope you continue to see him and feel him and life's every day moments. ❤️ 🙏🏼

    Psalm 19:1 states, "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims His handiwork". This verse is one of the clearest biblical statements that nature itself is meant to show the greatness of God. The words are in the present tense, meaning that the heavens are continually declaring and the sky is continually proclaiming the creative work of God.

    I was born and raised in Canada and seeing the Northern Lights was always a pretty normal thing...I often thought there are so many people in this World that will never get the opportunity to see them and how I was so blessed! I've been in Florida for 22 yrs now and my boyfriend has a pretty amazing log cabin in the Smoky Mountains(Sevierville area) who recently retired from SpaceX and NASA as a Aerospace Engineer. He was up on his mountain top with his telescope no doubt admiring the view and he'd be awful proud of your video skills. Thank you for sharing! I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I appreciate the "tours" of the area of my soon to be new home.🏔🥰
