Beauty around us

Have you ever sat outside your porch, backyard or just looked out the window and wonder how everything works together? The beauty of nature that surrounds us and we take for granted. Yeah, winter might not be the most colorful season but look at what we have to look forward to. The trees with no leaves are getting ready and protecting their young ones from freezing. The bulbs are hybernating so that they can grow tall when Spring comes. The bushes are just waiting for those sunny days to start blooming but all these need the winter to rest and grow and make a beautiful blossom or a shady tree or a climbing tree. I feel that sometimes we are like nature. We need times were we have to hybernate and study ourselves, see what we want to be or become, show our beauty inside and not hide what we have or what we are all about. Maybe we want to be the sun and put light into a dark area, maybe the wind to stir things up or maybe the rain to wash things away and start clean and new. Maybe we need the not so "good" days to see what is bothering us or changing in us or even growing in us that we need to take action on and make our light shine through.

All I know is that I question all the time why God is not a physical being that I can hug or share stuff with me and I can see, etc. Well silly me, why do I want that? I know He is with me all the time. When He gives us things beyond what our little minds can conceive and we take them for granted. Look around today or tonight or even tomorrow. Just see what God tells you, feel the wind and see what it stirs in your soul, feel the sun or the rain and see what He lights up or washes away. Look at a small bloom trying to grow, or just a dried up tree and see what is able to do in the spring. What about the sky, the clouds, the stars, the moon, my goodness I can keep going and we all take it for granted. He tells us, shows us and even touches us in ways we don't understand but verifies to us that He is there. Our own existence is proof. Why do our bodies work even when we mistreat them? Why do we breathe even when the wind does not blow? Why does He loves us even when we reject him? Who knows, but I am glad He is here. I only hope that we can all realize that He is as physical as we are but we need to expand our minds to understand that He is not a human being, that He is way above and beyond what we can conceive in our little minds. He is so beautiful and so creative. He creates a canvas for us everyday. He shows us in some many ways and gives us joy and hope for what is to come.
Enjoy your day admiring what God has to show you today. Even if it is not sunny, even if it is not warm but there is so much beauty to see. Enjoy it.
