Went to the beach today. What a beautiful day for it. Days like this help me connect to not only God but His creations. As the water washes over me I think about how powerful it really is. It has an amazing gift to heal you yet could take your life as well. I see that in so much of nature. Wind can be a raging tornado or hurricane that can destroy anything in its path but it can also be the relief you need from the heat, the cool breeze that makes you close your eyes and breath it in. Rain can flood entire regions and as we've all seen...destroy lives, but it can also give life to plants, animals, us, and be an amazing dance partner.
These are just a few examples of the amazing power of nature. I felt and saw so many of these examples today as I soaked in the warm sun, breathed in the brisk cool wind, and sat in the refreshing water. I felt so connected with God and mother nature. You can have days like this everyday. All you have to do is find you quiet spot with nature and take it in. Feel how alive the trees are and appreciate their shade. Watch the squirrels play together and the butterflies dancing through the air. Close your eyes and appreciate the soothing blowing of the wind. Each time you do this you will feel that connection. Do the same at home with your friends and families and love and appreciate them in the same ways. God gives us so many things to fill up our energy and keep us focused on what is really important. That which the Lord hath made.
