"Yet He has not left Himself without testimony: He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; He provides you with plenty of food and fills your

hearts with joy.”

~ Acts 14:17

 

It has been raining off and on today and the earth is being refreshed. I have always loved the various sides of Nature and to see Him cleaning His handiwork and filling the air with the smells of rebirth makes my heart soar. Thank you, my beloved Father, for the infinite blessings of this day.

I am still confident of this:

I will see the goodness of the Lord

in the land of the living.

~ Psalm 27:13

"The heart has eyes, which the brain

knows nothing of."

Valentine's Day, 2011

Everything holds its breath except Spring.

She burst through as strong as ever.

~ B. M. Bower

"See the sunlight through the pine,

taste the warm of winter wine.

Dream of softly falling snow,

Winter's gold, Aspenglow."

Each and every Winter this song comes to mind. My sister loved John Denver and because of her I paid more attention to his songs. This one is a favorite of mine ~ and I know I speak of this particular song each winter season, but humor me. Here's a link to a YouTube video. It's a beautiful song. Heartfelt, and brings such peace to a season, that to me, is a time for warmth, coziness, quiet, and incredible beauty ~ even in the sight of barren trees and shrubs. I truly hope you are taking the time to see the beauty in His creation for us.

It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth; you made both summer and winter.

~ Psalm 74:17
