Ahhhhhhhhh CREATION -the view from our front porch as the birds who awakened before us greet us as we enjoy our first cup of coffee this morning...And especially from the deck where neighbors in the distance even share their fall with us. How can one created by God ignore His beautiful world made for us to live out our earthly lives on-I've noticed when parents do not seem to need or appreciate God's creation-children don't seem to have any need or appreciation for it. If I am ever disabled please Lord don't allow me to be closed up inside brick,mortar and wood walls-roll me outside to continue to enjoy that GARDEN you landscaped for us.
My prayer this day is: "Holy spirit fill me with so much of You that there is no room for ugliness, fear, envy or self satisfied smugness and mere self gratification..but more room for YOU FATHER and OTHERS.Joy,Joy!

Amen, it's amazing out there, the sights, the scents, the breeze on my skin and the sun to warm me. So much to luxuriate in, out there in God's grand creation!
ReplyDeleteHave fun in Plains. Look forward to what you discover along the way. If you don't find me when you come back, you'll know those men in the white jackets have hauled me off for sure!

PS: Sleeping is not a problem because I'm so exhausted at the end of each day. Getting out of bed is what can be hard to do!
ReplyDeleteAint it the truth! And you very much sound like my Gram in this post!
ReplyDeleteLast weekend when we went fishing, there were these orange butterflies all over. It is a strange thing to see a mess of butter flies at the ocean with no place to land! We found out later that there were migrating south.
What a beautiful post. I thank God everyday for this wonderful world he created for us. I always wonder how any one could ever believe that there is no God. All one must do is take a look around. Thanks so much for sharing with Share Your Cup. Happy to be following you.
