GOD'S BEAUTY IN NATURE


"THE HEAVENS DECLARE THE
GLORY OF GOD;
THE SKIES PROCLAIM THE WORK
OF HIS HANDS.
Psalm 19:1

The work of God's hands are everywhere. It is brought to my attention in a big way this time of year. I love spring and I love this part of the country with all the flowering trees, bushes and all the flowers beginning to bloom. It makes me aware of how beautiful God has made this earth for us. He blesses us with beauty all around us. The green green grass, the beautiful blue sky, the white fluffy clouds and even the dark thunderstorm clouds. Then there are the birds that have started to appear. We have cardinals and robins all around our neighborhood right now and their songs are beautiful. And the way He has put all the colors together. Like the picture above - dark green leaves with a beautiful pink magnolia bloom with snowy white inside the bloom. It takes your breath away. The trees are just now starting to bud out with little green buds. Soon there will be leaves on all the trees. And I notice how everyone seems to be getting outside and doing things in their yards, their businesses, etc. Everything is awakening to spring!!! It's such a BEAUTIFUL time of year.

"Thank you Father for loving us so much that you have "painted" us a beautiful world. Only You could design the colors, the breathtaking beauty of all things in nature. I pray You will continue to bless us with this gift and I pray I will always be able to see YOU in everything around me and I give you glory and thanks for such beauty!!!
