Good morning!!! We've had our windows open all night to let the cool air come in. It feels WONDERFUL! It was hot here yesterday and it feels just lovely having the cool air come in. :) I love it! Soon I'll have to shut them because it will begin to warm up, but I'm stalling a bit longer. I can hear the chickens through my open bedroom windows (there are two of them, one on the front of the house, one on the side, since we are in the corner.) And birds! I can hear the birds! It feels like summer finally. Maybe today I can work in my little flower garden and see what I can get done. :) Everyone else is still asleep. They don't know what they are missing. It is beautiful in the mornings when everything is so still and quiet. The bird sounds are so pretty. :) And the sun is just starting to light up the valley. It is at moments like this that I wonder how anyone could ever say there is no God. How could they believe that such beauty is only chance?
Oh! The sun is now coming in through the trees, sending streaks of light across the ground, which is sparking. I love this feeling, this quiet, contemplative, soft feeling of happiness, secure through something as simple as spring. Do you ever get that feeling? I do. I have it now. It’ll probably pass as soon as the others get up and the hustle and bustle of work sets in but, for a few moments, it is mine. It seems to leave the word in a soft, gentle state. I can forget about the problems out there, the pain, the heartache, the wrongs and the sin and, for a moment, one simple moment, I can get lost in something so much better. Something called beauty. I can forget all the people who are trying to force unwanted things on others. And I can see, and feel, and hear the love of God – shining through the trees, blowing through my window and carefully caressing my face, and whispering in the trees outside my window in the bird song.
Can you feel it?
There is nothing like the first few moments of morning. No one asking me for this or that, nothing pressing at the moment, just God. His creation speaks everywhere and is heard in that first few moments of morning. Then you hear people leaving for work, the trash truck moves slowly past; the day has begun.
ReplyDeleteYour message to everyone this morning, as I see it, is that before we begin our daily "run" through the day, we should pause. Take that moment to appreciate what God has created, what He has done for us, and to ask His blessing and guidance on our day. So many times, we jump into the day with both feet, before stopping to thank the Lord for His grace and mercy. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for commenting! I love to hear people's opinions on my posts. I hope we can all learn to pause for a moment and take in God's blessings. I'm hoping that I can work in my flower garden today and am very excited about that. The feeling of beauty always comes back when I work there. :)
