Enjoying the view

Raindrops dripping off the leaves. A chorus of birds calling, chirping, singing. Squirrels in a mad chase across the lawn. A light goes on in a neighbor’s kitchen window. The sky slowly lightening as the day begins.

Who told the leaves to pop out in glorious full, green foliage in May and not March?

Who caused the ripples in the river to tip at just the right angle as to catch the sun’s rays and sparkle like diamonds?

Who cracked open those tiny, hard, little seeds we planted in our garden and now there’s green plants making their way through the black dirt?

Who told the robins to look for worms after a rain?

Is it anything less than miraculous?

Whether your view is of a woods full of trees, or sandy lakeside, or a tree-lined neighborhood – even as you look around your own room with your own creature comforts all around you that make it home to you… stop and wonder at the things you call beautiful …how did you end up with such a treasureable sight…?

Maybe today’s the day you write God a little note.

·        I love You, Lord, with all my heart

·        Thank You, Lord, for making everything beautiful in its time

·        Lord, there is none like You
