You pray in your distress and in your need;
would that you might pray also in the fullness
of your joy and in your days of abundance.
~Khalil Gibran
Looking out across a freshly mowed lawn
Sunrises and sunsets ablaze with color
A doe running in the field with her fawn
Quiet summer nights that are mild
Followed by a raucous chatter of birds in the morn
The infectious laughter of a child
Reading a new book by candlelight
Laughing with family and friends
And summer storms through the night
So many things to be thankful for
So many things to enjoy
So many things already and so much more
~By Pamela B. in VOICES OF NATURE
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. ~James 1:17 ✝

That could be my backyard!! I love such special moments of the encounters and / or observations with “nature” in the wilds. I always feel, when I’m in the presence of God’s marvelous creation, that He has given me such a private and special gift. Thank you for the reminder of those wonderful gifts from a loving Creator and Father.
Hugs and love—Julie

We need to count our blessings and focus on the good in our lives. Not the negative things. They are there so we can appreciate the good things more. 😀
