Gratitude

Today I am so grateful for this 

beautiful world we live in.

I always enjoy spending time

in nature and today I got

to do it with a good friend in tow.

It was amazing and oh so beautiful!

The Word

Song of Solomon 2:12

"The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle [turtle-dove] is heard in our land."

I love this verse!
I can picture myself in a field of wild flowers
listening to the birds sing in the trees.
I also love how it talks about the
voice of the turtle.
Turtle doves are a symbol of
love and faithfulness
and
truth and innocence.
All things that I can find
as I spend time in nature!

On my heart...

"In the woods we return to reason and faith. There I feel that nothing can befall me in life,--no disgrace, no calamity...which nature cannot repair."  ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

I can't even begin to tell you

what strength I uncover

when I spend time in nature.

Being outside in the mountains

and other places helps me

to connect with my Heavenly 

Father and receive personal

revelation that I feel I can

get no where else.

Taking in the beauty of 

God's creations and

being full of gratitude

for the creations that

make my heart swell

with love and light.

It's amazing.

Spending time enjoying

the beauty, seeing

the beautiful colors of 

flowers or a sunset, 

listening to the songs

of birds or the wind as

it blows through the trees,

even seeing the beauty 

in the storms all

touches my soul

and gives me peace.

I crave time in nature

and sometimes I forget.

Then I have a day like today,

where I remember how much

it replenishes me.

Find time to spend in your

favorite place out in nature.

Wherever it is,

it will bring you peace

and you will find 

strength to continue on

and endure the things

you are experiencing!

I love my life!

God is good!
