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?
