I Love You, Too

 God paints beauty across creation and splashes color across the sky. Every sunrise, sunset, cloud formation points to its creator. It just takes eyes to see, to recognize the fingerprints of God who makes all things beautiful. And beyond every splendid thing he's made, his friendship and fatherhood are still the best. He's my treasure and peace, and I love him so much.

He has blessed me over and over. All my days he is worthy of praise. 

He is my rising sun, the fountain I drink from. 

He is faithful over and over, never failing, unending love. 

He is my rising sun, the fountain I drink from. 

He is beyond worthy of praise. 

His mercies are new every day. 

Your grace rolls upon me. My life I lay at your feet. 

In all things his way is supreme. 

With passion, I give everything. 

My life is secure and my joy, it lives in you. 

With every breath I can breathe, I love you too. 

He's a lamp for me over and over. 

The light to my path when I don't know the way.

 He is my rising sun. The fountain I drink from. 

His love spills over and over. 

An almighty, infinite father is he. 

He is my rising sun. The fountain I drink from. 

He is beyond worthy of praise. 

His mercies are new every day. 

Your grace rolls upon me. My life I lay at your feet. 

In all things his way is supreme. 

With passion, I give everything. 

My life is secure and my joy, it lives in you. 

With every breath I can breathe, I love you, too.

Japan part 2

 On the way to Tokyo Skytree, we paused to drink in the delicious smell of this bakery. 

Ganso Shokuhin Sample-ya (food sample shop) on the 4th floor of the Tokyo Skytree shopping complex. They have a HUGE selection of fake foods available in magnets, tissue holders, plates, keychains, clocks, decorations, pen holders, etc. Such a creative, cute idea. 

This was another shop, glass items.

The map we tried to follow to get to the observation floor.

Stopped to peruse other shops.

Japan's vending machines are awesome.

WOW. Look at the sky.

Rode to the 30th and 31st floor to view the sky tree. At 634 meters tall, it's the largest broadcasting tower in the world. Here's something interesting. The original plan was for Skytree to be 610 meters. But the developers explicitly wanted it to be the world's tallest freestanding tower. As construction plans around the world changed, they adjusted the design and settled on 634 meters specifically to secure the record. 

While we were watching the sun set and waiting for the tower to light up, a storm came and went, and we captured it in fast motion which was really amazing.

Tokyo

We savored this "World's No. 1 Apple Pie" from Mille Mele, a famous shop. It definitely deserves that rating. 

Afterward we ate fried octopus (which I greatly miss) from a mall shop. And how convenient - the banana juice shop was right nearby. 😄😋

The malls and many other places close around 9 or 10 here. 

And that ends the day of July 30th.
