Opus 2011-209, Stopping to Smell the Roses

I am having a creation moment.  I am on vacation, staying in someone else’s home.  Since I am getting older I get up earlier.  I find that morning is a good time for worship and study. 

Today I am on the sun porch.  It is about 72 degrees.  The birds are singing.  The air is stirring.  The trees are greening.  It is a time to pause and marvel at what God has created.

Have you looked out the window lately.  You may only see the stucco of your neighbor’s house.  If so, you have my sympathy.  In that case go take a walk until you see a flower and stop to contemplate all the complexity of a simple plant.  A dandelion will do.  That is just one little corner of the universe.  God understands it all.

I find that reminder to be uplifting.  It puts my little issues in perspective.

Rejoice.
