I am sure many of you have been spending time out in the beautiful weather lately. I just can't sit inside on a day like today. Something just pulls me outside. I love trees. I love to just sit and look up and watch the leaves go back and forth against the blue sky. I cannot tell you how calming that is to me.
It reminded me of the last entry in Walking with God in the fall section - "Hawks". I love how John connects with God in nature. The hawks seem to draw his gaze upward and draw his perspective up out of the mundane. The last part reads...Remember, "The earth is the Lord's and everything in it." (Psalm 24:1) God is speaking to us all the time. Sometimes He uses words. Other times He uses dreams. And He loves to use the ever-changing, unfolding beauty, drama, and presence of His creation.
So take a moment to slow down these next few days and celebrate - summer is here. Take a deep breath and look around. You might be surprised.
