Is there anything more encouraging than seeing God's hand-painted landscape? There's just something about the springtime with its lush green trees and their smatterings of colorful blossoms. Spring in the Midwest this year has been especially chilly and colorful. The cool temperatures have allowed the trees, bushes and plant blooms to linger in beauty and fragrance (sorry for those of you suffering with pesky spring allergies.)
God in all of his wisdom knew to place refreshing creations all around us. He knew that the daily grind would at times discourage us. Being the loving Father that He is, He lavishes us with beautiful things. And, these marvelous creations don't cost us a dime!
Take a moment today to breathe in what God has placed in your pathway. Take five minutes from your labor to walk around your yard, your neighborhood or a park observing His personal touch, yes, even if it's raining! Take time to thank Him for this quiet moment of recreation. If you had been the only person he ever created, he still would have painted His masterpieces.
Luke 12:27 - Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
Here is a picture of some beautiful flowers God has placed in our garden. I'm especially thankful for my husband who lovingly oversees the watering and weeding of the flower gardens!
