Just Notice

Have you ever watched the stars? Like, seriously watched them. Have you ever taken the time to lay on your back in the grass and just stare at them for hours? Have you ever seen a shooting star? Ever seen a meteor? Let me tell you, if you haven't done this you are seriously missing one of the best things in life. 

What about summer days on the beach. My favorites days are the ones when the wind is blowing like anything and the red flag waves proudly as an ally to the wind to announce that the waves are too strong and too high for one to consider cavorting with. I do it anyway.

Have you watched the leaves blow in the autumn? Have you seen the twisters that form just before they shoot off into the sky? Have you watched as a summer breeze ripples a pond, or the grass and flowers surrounding it? Have you climbed to the top of the tallest tree you could find? Have you watched eagles soar? 

I guess what I am really asking is, have you known freedom? Have you seen the love in the beauty of the world God has given to us? Take a minute to notice it sometime. 

"Aren't two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father's consent." -Matthew 10:29 HCSB

"If that's how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and thrown into the furnace tomorrow, won't he do much more for you--you of little faith?" -Matthew 6:30 HCSB

"Consider how the wildflowers grow: They don't labor or spin thread. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was adorned like one of these!" -Luke 12:27 HCSB

When we consider the creation that is all around us and the care God took in making it, we should know that He cares for us.

May you all be richly blessed today.
