Seeing Beautiful Things in Nature

 

A living theme spins within my being, it swarms like a traveling butterfly and slowly fades into the distance.  

This being is surrounded by nature where I feel close to our creator.  This is where the calm spirals and fills my spirit with goodness.

Goodness in the sky, the trees and wide open landscapes...

There is hope within the outdoors because within these boundaries his grace is present.

It's like we have been gifted with this beauty to keep us sane.  

Seeing beautiful things in nature is where the answers we seek keep us going.  

Whether I walk down a dusty road or sit by the seashore where waves flutter, I recognize we have this life all wrong.  

Getting entangled in this earthly way of living has caused us to forget why God brought here in the very beginning.  It's why I ponder nature as divine creation centered in love.

A love that we cannot keep to ourselves... 

May we stop fading into the distance and stand up for the beautiful things that bring us joy.  Share them with a giving heart especially if it might bring someone to Christ.  

Travel like a butterfly, see the beauty around you and let God be your guide for a brighter tomorrow.  

Encouraging Goodness,

A friend shared this video and I had to pass along.  Nature held the heartbeat of Lilias Trotter, the truth that God never stopped calling her.  Enjoy!
