Nature fascinates me, our world is so beautiful. I stop to take it in, every chance I get: skies, flowers, tropical plants, palm trees, pelicans, beaches, ocean waves, sea shells...

I sincerely agree,we tend to take so much for granted,that we forget that life in itself is a priveledge,that alone allows us to enjoy everything else.so really when all seem at end,just take some time a smell the roses,a pine tree,whatever works for you,just enjoy everything put before you afterall alot of work went into it.

I make it a daily point to give God praises for His creation in the earth. I love nature. I wake up with the birds. It does my heart as well as my spirit good to hear the early morning birds around 5am singing praises to our Lord, it just makes me get up and praise and worship Him as well sometimes I think the birds and I are in competition as to who can praise Him more lol.

But yes I enjoy sitting out in the fresh air feeling the breath of GOD IN THE WIND, it is so refreshing for me I usually sit out and read and reflect on the things in the earth as I read the book of Life (The Bible). There are many things that are special to me within nature but what I love watching most are the cranes in the near by ponds. They walk so cautiously and with such stance they are beautiful to watch. God is a wonder it just amazes me even the more how awesome He is to have created such beauty in nature as well as in human nature. I'm a water person I love being near large bodies of water it is so calming and I can truly meditate on God and feel His presence when I concentrate on Him. I am so connected to God's creation in nature. I love being in the natural elements and I thank Him for it on a daily basis.

Beautifully stated, Honeybee. You sound like a wonderful spiritual connection!

Yes Teri, our existence is indeed a privilege!

To God be the glory He is still working on me.
