The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Psalm 19.1
Take a look around you on a beautiful summers day; the farmers fields bursting forth with good food from the earth, the flowers on the road side painting a picture rich with color and sweet aromas; the azure blue sky a canvas for the clouds pillowed and billowing; the breath taking sunsets; the soft velvet nights with fire flies putting on a light show.

How can we not be grateful to our Creator God? How can we not feel loved, and special as the world rolls out this beauty and goodness? Yes there are clouds and storms. Yes there are hard times and draught. But, the sun is always shining behind the clouds, and when the dark times are over the beauty returns and our hearts are filled once again with the love God has poured into us.

Take the time to smell the roses and notice this rich beautiful world. And then say a breath prayer of thanksgiving, to the One who created it.
We are so busy, busy busy, that we need to be reminded to stop and smell the roses, and reflect on the beauty of this creation! Everything in this world has a purpose; the purpose of beauty is to make glad our souls, and humble our hearts. What brings you to this place? What makes you stop and let your soul absorb beauty?
